An elementary school principal was suspected of sexually harassing hundreds of female elementary school students when he was a teacher. In addition, there was a replica of the &quot;Fang Siqi case&quot; in Taichung last year, and the principal surnamed Huang who sexually assaulted a female student was almost able to retire and receive his pension. In fact, there have been many cases in the past where perpetrators of sexual molestation and sexual assault escaped the sexual assault prosecution period and have been able to sit back and relax. Therefore, some lawyers suggested today (14th) that Taiwan could follow the example of the United States in setting up a protection mechanism for minor victims and directly cancel the prosecution period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Criminal lawyers at Fidelity Law Firm explain relevant legislative suggestions regarding the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A criminal lawyer at Fidelity Law Firm stated that if children are sexually assaulted or become victims of crime, they are too young to take legal action. By the time they grow up, the statute of limitations may have expired, allowing the perpetrators to go unpunished. Therefore, it might be worthwhile to refer to foreign legislation to extend the statute of limitations for serious crimes, or to set the statute of limitations for child victims for a period of time after they reach adulthood. This would provide a better chance to protect the rights of victims.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opinion of Fidelity Law Firm<\/h2>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should be confirmed first when encountering similar cases?<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>First, organize the event timeline, notices, contracts, chat logs, photos, videos, and payment information.<\/li><li>Confirm the current stage of the process: it may be just a consultation, you may have been interviewed, you may have received a summons, you may have entered into court proceedings, or you may need to file a lawsuit to seek compensation.<\/li><li>Assess whether there are immediate risks such as statute of limitations, evidence preservation, detention, imprisonment, settlement negotiations, or media exposure.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"fdlaw-faq-block\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><h3>When you receive a summons or are asked to speak with someone, do you need to hire a criminal lawyer first?<\/h3><p>If you have already received a notice from the District Attorney&#039;s Office, the police station, or the court, it is recommended that you first organize the summons, case details, conversation records, and related documents, and have your lawyer assess the direction of the investigation, possible charges, and response strategies to avoid making unfavorable statements without knowing the legal consequences.<\/p><h3>Is detention always a requirement for criminal cases?<\/h3><p>Whether or not detention is necessary is usually related to the suspicion of a criminal suspect, the possibility of escape, the risk of collusion or destruction of evidence, and the seriousness of the case. In major criminal cases, financial crimes, corruption cases, or cases involving multiple accomplices, it is even more necessary to prepare specific materials as early as possible to explain that there is no need for detention.<\/p><h3>What criminal cases can Fidelity Law Firm assist with?<\/h3><p>Our firm can assist in criminal investigations, detention hearings, bail applications, criminal defense, fraud, breach of trust, money laundering, corruption, securities and banking law, and other major criminal cases, and plan the defense strategy based on the case information.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"fdlaw-related-card\"><strong>Related services and further reading<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/criminal\/\">Criminal
