We're continuing to follow up on this suspected case of picking up a drunk woman! The woman claims that she was forcibly taken home by a male resident upstairs while she was drunk. She only sobered up and ran out of the house after about 20 minutes. She has decided to sue the man for sexual harassment, unlawful confinement, intimidation, and assault. However, how can she prove the missing 20 minutes? Her lawyer said that she can look at the surveillance footage from outside to infer whether the man committed any illegal acts.
An elderly man in red was walking around the community hall when a female resident accused him of groping her while she was drunk and even forcibly taking her home. The woman decided to file a lawsuit.
FTV reporter Huang Enlin: "The woman who made the accusation was taken to the home by the male resident for about 20 minutes. However, during those 20 minutes when she disappeared, it became crucial to determine whether the other party had committed any crimes such as sexual harassment, and how to provide evidence."
