Woman jailed seven years for spiriting child away to China

A woman who spirited her daughter away to China to deny access to her ex husband has been found guilty on appeal and will serve a seven year sentence for kidnapping and obstruction, the Ontario Court of Appeal has decided. Ontario’s top court found that Chun Mei Li has waged a seven-year campaign of deceit and lies in her effort to keep her daughter in China. “The trial judge found that the harm caused by Ms. Li’s actions, when combined with her very high degree of moral blameworthiness, warranted a sentence that was more severe than in comparable cases,” the Appeal Court said.
