Actor Zhang Mo given six months for drug offenses

Zhang Mo, the son of actor Zhang Guoli, was sentenced to six months in prison on Tuesday by Haidian District People's Court in Beijing for drug offenses.

The court fined Zhang Mo, 32, who is also an actor, 5,000 yuan ($800) for providing venues for drug users and for drug use.

According to the court, Zhang, 32, twice provided a venue for recreational drug use. The maximum sentence for this offense is three years in prison, but the court ruled that as Zhang had confessed to police before an investigation was launched he would receive a lighter sentence.
