Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. has dismissed 10 staffers for publicising an employee’s account of sexual assault allegations against a former manager, people familiar with the matter said, as the eCommerce giant moves to resolve a case that’s rocked China’s tech establishment.

Alibaba announced internally last week it fired the group for sharing a harrowing account posted on an internal forum by a colleague surnamed Zhou, who accused a former manager of rape.
