Nandu News Reporter Cai Liyi According to Taiwanese media reports on December 3, Taiwanese artist Huang Zijiao was charged by the Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office for purchasing indecent videos of underage girls on an online candid photography forum. The Taipei District Court found that Huang Zijiao possessed 2,259 sexual images of children, and a total of 35 children were victimized. On December 3, the first instance sentenced him to 8 months in prison and a fine of NT$100,000 for the crime of "possessing sexual images of juveniles without justifiable reasons". Part of the fine can be easily served, and can be appealed.
According to Taiwanese media reports, Huang Zijiao was exposed to sexual harassment scandals last year. He suddenly broadcast a live broadcast and revealed that many female artists were taking drugs. After the public reported Huang Zijiao to the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office for being suspected of forced indecency and other crimes, when the prosecutors searched Huang Zijiao's residence last year, they found his It was found on the hard drive that he purchased a large number of videos from online candid photography forums, 7 of which were indecent videos of underage girls. Huang Zijiao pleaded guilty during the prosecutor's investigation, and the prosecutor gave him a two-year "suspended prosecution" sanction, which aroused anger from all walks of life and believed that the prosecutor was "lightly indulgent."
After pressure from public opinion and prosecutors re-examining the case, the Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office formally prosecuted Huang Zijiao on May 17 this year, accusing him of allegedly possessing seven sexual images of young girls without reason. In late July, the prosecutors transferred the remaining 41 sexual videos in his possession to the Taipei District Court for trial.
The court heard the case five times this year. Starting from the first instance, Huang Zijiao, who originally "admitted his mistake", suddenly changed his attitude. He once changed his words to deny the crime and questioned the prosecutor's evidence for the prosecution. He also argued that the sexual images were all held before Taiwan’s relevant laws and regulations on children were adjusted, so they cannot be tried under the new regulations. During the last court hearing, Huang Zijiao once said, "I, Huang Zijiao, am no longer Huang Zijiao," "My future is bleak," etc. In addition, Huang Zijiao also refused to compensate the victim and said, "I didn't take the photo."
On December 3, the local court in Taipei sentenced Huang Zijiao to 8 months in prison and a fine of NT$100,000 for the crime of possessing sexual images of children and teenagers without justifiable reasons in accordance with the "Child and Juvenile Sexual Exploitation Prevention Ordinance". According to Taiwan media reports, the judge believed that Huang Zijiao was currently unemployed and was working in the entertainment industry at the time of the incident. He had no criminal record before this case. After the incident, Huang Zijiao confessed to criminal conduct during the investigation, but denied it in all court preparation procedures and trials. For the crime, there has been no mediation with the victim so far, there is no way to reduce the sentence, and it is difficult to confirm that he has the intention to repent. Therefore, the sentence cannot be replaced by a fine or suspended, and the seized hard drive and other items must be confiscated. The reasons for the judgment provided by the Taipei Court pointed out that the number of child sexual images seized by Huang Zijiao was as many as 2,259 files, with a total of 35 victims, ranging in age from 10 to 17 years old at the time of filming, far exceeding outside expectations.
