A well-known chain of medical aesthetic groups, Aierli, has been embroiled in a voyeurism scandal. Police and prosecutors are now searching all branches across Taiwan and reviewing patient records to identify potential victims. However, during the investigation, it was discovered that a surveillance engineer surnamed Xie had received instructions from higher-ups to dismantle and even format the surveillance mainframes in 10 branches in central and northern Taiwan in an attempt to destroy evidence. It was also discovered that minors were among those filmed.
Attorney Li Yusheng of Fidelity Law Firm stated that consumers of cosmetic procedures are usually adults, but if minors have visited clinics for related treatments and were subsequently filmed without their consent, the case could be upgraded to a case under the Child Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act. The prosecutor's grounds for requesting detention in this case include the crime of child sexual abuse. Obviously, the prosecutor has already found sexual images of minors on the seized surveillance hard drive, and there should be sufficient evidence to establish that a crime has been committed.

What should you do if you discover you might be being secretly filmed?
Preserve the scene, equipment, source of images, conversation records, and police report information. Do not distribute the images yourself, and seek legal assistance as soon as possible.
What should be done if a company or clinic is involved in a hidden camera incident?
In addition to criminal investigations, issues such as personal data, internal investigations, evidence preservation, external communication, and victim compensation also need to be addressed. It is recommended that a lawyer assist in establishing a complete handling process.
