"Why did you come and look for me again, take me to your house, and force me into sex? I have no proof, and it would be impossible for me to keep any evidence. You denied everything afterward," the 35-year-old wrote, according to What's On Weibo. "That afternoon I originally did not consent and cried the whole time."
Her post was deleted within an hour of its posting, The Guardian reported, and Peng, a former US Open semifinalist, has not been heard from since.
