Case Overview
Kent Wu is the President of LVCNN, a Las Vegas newspaper reporting on issues of interest to the local Chinese community. He was sued in Clark County District Court for defamation and related claims by Daniel Wang a/k/a Wang Jianping, a well-known figure in the community and former president of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of Las Vegas, over an article LVCNN published regarding public allegations a woman made about Wang sexually abusing her and treating her as a sex slave. Wu and LVCNN vetted their story before publishing by interviewing Wang’s alleged victim and reviewing text messages she provided that corroborated details of her story. They also sought comment from Wang before publishing, and Wang did not deny the substance of the allegations, instead claiming they related to a purely private matter. Wu and LVCNN retained Randazza Legal Group to defend them, and on April 11, 2025, they filed an Anti-SLAPP motion seeking to dismiss Wang’s lawsuit.
