Bail denied for UC Davis Chinese researcher as judge finds defendant a flight risk

[Disir]

A federal magistrate judge denied a request Friday to release on bail a former Chinese researcher at UC Davis who has been accused of lying about her ties to China’s military and Communist Party to gain access to the United States.

“I just don’t see sufficient conditions to overcome flight risk,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah Barnes said in ordering continued detention of Juan Tang. “She would have every reason to leave.”

Tang, 37, has been held without bail at the Sacramento County Main Jail since July 23, after she was arrested by FBI agents when she emerged from hiding in the Chinese consulate in San Francisco and went to visit a doctor, authorities say.
