(CNA, Reporter Hsieh Chun-lin, Taipei, 13th) Entertainer NONO (Chen Hsuan-yu) was accused of sexual assault and other crimes. The Shilin District Prosecutors Office determined that he used his height and physical advantage to forcibly assault two victims and indicted him on two counts of forcible sexual intercourse and indecent assault, recommending a severe sentence. After trial, the Shilin District Court today acquitted NONO.
The Shilin District Prosecutors Office stated that they will consider whether to appeal after receiving the verdict.
The indictment from the Shilin District Prosecutors Office stated that between 2011 and 2013, NONO went to a lifestyle club in Taipei City one evening and requested massage services from the victim. During the massage, NONO allegedly stood up suddenly and, using his 181 cm height and physical advantage, forcibly pinned the victim on a beauty chair and successfully committed forcible sexual intercourse.
Furthermore, in 2011, NONO liked a video uploaded by another victim on Facebook and contacted her via Messenger to ask her out.
One afternoon in December 2011, NONO drove to Yanji Street in Taipei City to pick up the victim. After she got in the front passenger seat, NONO allegedly acted against her will, using his height and physical advantage to restrain her, forcibly kissing her with his tongue and groping her breasts, thus committing indecent assault.
The case was initially investigated by the Taipei District Prosecutors Office, which decided not to prosecute. The two victims applied for a review to the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office. The Taipei District Prosecutors Office, considering jurisdiction, reported to the High Prosecutors Office, which transferred the case to the Shilin District Prosecutors Office for investigation. The Shilin District Prosecutors Office again decided not to prosecute. The two victims applied for a review a second time, and the High Prosecutors Office sent the case back, ordering the Shilin District Prosecutors Office to continue the investigation.
During the investigation, the prosecutor examined relevant evidence, testimonies, and mobile phone chat records and determined that NONO was guilty of forcible sexual intercourse and indecent assault under the Criminal Code, and that the two crimes should be punished separately. The prosecutor considered the immense physical and mental harm NONO caused to the victims, his denial of the crimes after they were exposed, his evasive attitude, and lack of remorse, and recommended a severe sentence from the court.
The Shilin District Court, after the trial, acquitted NONO today. The facts and reasons for the verdict have not yet been explained.
In addition, NONO is also suspected of committing a total of seven sexual assaults and indecent acts against six other women. In the first trial, the Shilin District Court found him guilty of only one count of attempted forcible sexual intercourse, sentencing him to 2 years and 6 months in prison. The other six charges were acquitted due to insufficient evidence. After an appeal, the Taiwan High Court rejected the appeal in April this year, upholding the 2-year-and-6-month sentence, which can still be appealed. (Editor: Hsiao Po-wen) 1150513
