BEIJING—A Chinese court rejected an appeal over sexual-harassment allegations by one of the leading figures of China’s embattled #MeToo movement, in a case that drew a heavy police presence outside the courthouse in Beijing.
Zhou Xiaoxuan shot to prominence in 2018 after she accused Zhu Jun, a well-known state television presenter in China, of sexually harassing her when she was an intern. He sued her that year for defamation in response.
