Taiwanese artist Huang Zijiao has been involved in a sex scandal that has attracted much attention. On August 20, according to the Taipei District Court, on the afternoon of the 20th, the case of Huang Zijiao using a portable hard drive to store and possess sexual images of underage girls was heard for the third time, and he still denied the crime. Multiple Taiwanese media revealed that prosecutors had previously planned to summon Huang Zijiao’s wife Meng Gengru to testify in court. Nandu previously reported that prosecutors had previously discovered new evidence that Huang Zijiao was suspected of possessing 48 sexual videos of underage girls from the previous 7, with the youngest victim being only 11 years old.

Huang Zijiao’s sexual image case has been in court for the third time.

According to previous reports from Nandu, Huang Zijiao was exposed to a sexual assault scandal in 2023 and was accused of molesting multiple women, which shocked Taiwan's entertainment industry. However, the charge of "forced indecency" was unsubstantiated and the case was settled with the victim, so the case was finally settled without prosecution in April this year. However, when prosecutors searched Huang Zijiao's residence in 2023, they found on the hard drive that he had purchased a large number of images on pornographic websites, 7 of which were sexual images of underage women.

The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office previously believed that Huang Zijiao confessed to the crime after committing the crime, voluntarily discarded the hard drive, and did not distribute or sell sexual images. Therefore, in the first instance on April 3 this year, the prosecutor granted Huang Zijiao a two-year deferred prosecution, a fine of NT$1.2 million, and a 1,200-word letter of repentance. However, this caused people from all walks of life to question the prosecutor's levity. After pressure from public opinion and prosecutors re-examining the case, the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office formally prosecuted Huang Zijiao on May 17.

On the afternoon of August 12 this year, the case of Huang Zijiao using a portable hard drive to store and possess sexual images of underage girls was heard for the second time. The prosecutor disclosed that during the investigation, the prosecutor found more sexual images of minors in his possession, as many as 48, and the youngest victim was only 11 years old. It is understood. From the first instance of the case, Huang Zijiao, who originally "humbly admitted his mistake", suddenly changed his attitude. He once changed his mind and denied the crime, and questioned the prosecutor's prosecution evidence.

During the second trial, Huang Zijiao denied downloading the video, and the prosecutor responded: "How about calling Huang Zijiao's wife to testify?" It is reported that the prosecutor did not rule out the possibility of calling Meng Gengru to testify. Currently, the case is still under further review.
