Last September, a habitual sexual harasser appeared in MRT stations and major shopping districts in Taipei and New Taipei City. He specifically targeted fashionably dressed young women, following them and groping their breasts. He committed at least five such incidents. In two of the cases, one occurred at Yulon City in Xindian District and the other in the Xinyi District department store area. The victims refused to mediate, and the Taipei District Prosecutors Office indicted the suspect, surnamed Lin, after concluding its investigation. It is understood that during questioning, the suspect claimed the victims were his wives, clearly speaking nonsense and showing no remorse. The case will be heard by the Taipei District Court.

Attorney Li Yusheng of Fidelity Law Firm stated that the suspect in this case repeatedly groped others in public places, which constitutes the crime of sexual harassment. The statutory penalty is imprisonment for up to two years, detention, or a fine of up to NT$100,000. Moreover, each crime is punished separately, and different cases constitute different crimes, which will result in cumulative penalties, and the prosecutor will determine a reasonable sentence to be served.
