Chinese dissident billionaire treated me as sex slave: suit

The personal assistant to a dissident Chinese billionaire says the New York-based real estate tycoon treated her like a sex slave — allegedly raping her at his homes in Manhattan and London and threatening to have her jailed and tortured if she escaped, according to a new lawsuit.

Guo Wengui, 50, also known as Miles Kwok, fled China in 2015 following a fraud conviction. A year earlier he had summoned Rui Ma to New York from his Hong Kong real estate offices, according to her $20 million suit filed Monday.

Once in the Big Apple, Guo took Rui’s passport and monitored her communications, the suit alleges.

He told her that if she tried to return to China “she would be arrested and thrown in prison, where she would be tortured,” court papers state.





She “became [Guo’s] captive,” the suit says.

The billionaire’s “program of terror” started with Guo allegedly making Rui “work until 2 a.m. or 4 a.m. seven days a week — depriving her of any real opportunity to sleep.”

Then he tried to force himself on her in the cinema room of his $68 million penthouse at the Sherry-Netherland Hotel on Fifth Avenue, the suit says.

Rui “narrowly avoided rape on this one occasion” until “not long after” when she woke up with Guo “on top of her and attempting to separate her legs,” the suits says. She yelled at him to stop but he refused and “engaged in forced sexual intercourse with [Rui] without her consent, according to court papers.

“After this violence concluded [he] left [her] alone, bleeding in her bed,” the suit says.





A second alleged rape occurred in Guo’s London home when he locked her in a room, threw her onto the floor and tore at her clothing.

Rui begged him to stop, but he “coldly responded that [Rui] must stop shouting,” the suit says.

She eventually fled to the Chinese embassy earlier this year.

The suit does not includes dates for the incidents and Rui never contacted U.S. authorities about the alleged assaults.

But she has filed a criminal complaint in China, her New York attorney Lisa C. Solbakken told The Post.

“Defendant’s decision to flee China and take up residence in the United States is one that insulates him from answering for his inhumane and egregious conduct,” Solbakken said.

“Our courts are entitlted to hold him accountable for his wrongs,” she said.





Rui is one of at least five recent suits filed against Guo in New York. Guo believes the suits are orchestrated by the Chinese government, which he said is trying to silence him for exposing corruption in his home country.

He’s recently applied for political asylum in the U.S.

Guo did not immediately respond through an attorney.
