BEIJING - A woman who was once hailed as a philanthropist and a"love mother" for adopting 118 children, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for multiple crimes including manipulating children to serve her own purposes.
Fifteen accomplices, including her boyfriend Xu Qi, were collectively sentenced to between one and 13 years for their crimes, the Wu'an People's Court said. Over the past 21 years, Li received large sums in donations, which formed the major source of funding for her welfare house, cnr.cn reported. Local police also found that Li was suspected of using adopted children to siege township governments and intimidate officials.In May 2018, the local authorities put her under criminal detention over multiple charges including manipulating children to hinder construction work - by making them run under trucks so construction could not continue- and blackmailing construction companies.
