Jackie Chan Son of Chinese movie star indicted on drug charges

Jaycee who is the son of Chinese
movie star, Jackie Chan, has been
indicted on a drug charge after he
was arrested in August.
Jaycee Chan , son of respected Chinese
actor, Jackie Chan , has been indicted on a
drug charge.
Jaycee Chan was detained after he tested positive
for marijuana after police allegedly found 100
grams of marijuana in his home.
Taiwanese movie star, Kai Ko, was also
detained at Jaycee’s home Beijing home in August
but was released after a 14-day administrative
detention for drug use.
Chinese prosecutors indicted Jaycee Chan
Monday, December 22, on the charge of
sheltering others to use drugs, more than four
months after he was originally detained.
But Jaycee Chan was put under "criminal
detention" for the additional and more serious
suspected crime of " providing a shelter for
others to abuse drugs ", Beijing police
said at the time.
Jaycee Chan could face up to three years in
prison if convicted; a trial date has not been
announced.
Chinese President, Xi Jinping, announced in
June that the government would be cracking down
on illegal drugs, and, as a result, offenders
would be more severely punished. The efforts
resulted in more than 7,800 people in Beijing
alone being arrested. Several film and television
stars, including directors and a prominent
screenwriter were also arrested.
Jaycee is the only son of Jackie Chan who also
has another daughter from an extra marital affair
in 1999.
