TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Chinese police have detained two men on suspicion of sexual assault in a high-profile case involving Alibaba Group, the world’s biggest e-commerce company. Police said Saturday there was no evidence that the two men had committed rape, a different charge under Chinese criminal law. The allegations surfaced last week after a female employee at Alibaba alleged she had been sexually assaulted by her manager. She said she was also allegedly assaulted by a client. Her allegations on an internal company website began circulating publicly, prompting the company to fire the manager, surnamed Wang.
