Sun Peng, Di Ying’s son pleads guilty to terrorism charge
According to Taiwanese media reports, 18-year-old Sun An Tso, the son of celebrity couple Sun Peng and Di Ying, pleaded guilty to the allegations of planning a school massacre on Monday (June 4).He made the plea during a pre-trial conference held at the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County, and reportedly read out a prepared statement in front of Judge Barry Dozor, saying that he was embarrassed and ashamed of what happened.As the weapons An Tso possessed were capable of causing harm, the judge ruled that his crime warrants a jail term of four to 26 months. However, as he has already been

in custody for 70 days since his arrest on March 27, and he is also a non-US citizen, the case will be handed over to the US federal court for follow-up.

If everything works out well, An Tso will also be allowed to return to Taiwan by the end of the month at the earliest, without having to complete his full jail term in Pennsylvania prison.

Sun Peng and Di Ying were present at the hearing as well, and were captured in media photos dressed in black outfits and black shades.

An Tso was arrested in March after the US police received a tip-off from his school principal about his suspicious behaviour, and was later found to have 1,600 bullets and a handmade gun stashed away in his bedroom.
