Jaycee Chan, son of Chinese kung fu star Jackie Chan, was prosecuted in Beijing Monday for allegedly providing a venue for drug users, according to the People’s Procuratorate of Beijing’s Dongcheng district.

Ko Chen-tung was released Aug 29 after 14 days of administrative detention. In Beijing, a number of celebrities have been detained by police on drug charges.
