Jaycee Chan, son of Chinese kung fu superstar Jackie Chan, has pleaded guilty to drug charges at the Dongcheng District People's Court in Beijing today.
According to the official Sina Weibo of Doncheng District People's Court, defendant Chen Zuming (Jaycee Chan's real name) did not object to prosecutor's charges and pleaded guilty.
Chan was detained by Beijing police for drug offences on Aug 14, 2014, alongside Taiwan-based actor Kai Ko Chen-tung.
"I made a mistake, I know what I did was wrong. I should have followed the law," Chan says.
Chan and Ko tested positive for marijuana and both admitted to having taken the drug. Police seized more than 100 grams of marijuana from Chan's home.
The People's Procuratorate of Dongcheng District filed charges against Chan on Dec 22 for providing a venue for drug users.
According to Chinese law, the maximum sentence for this crime is three years in prison as well as a fine.
