(Central News Agency, Tainan, 14th, by reporter Yang Ssu-jui) A Tainan man surnamed Chang, who used his position as a teacher at an after-school care center to molest multiple young girls over six years and create sexual images of many unsuspecting girls, was found guilty on 37 counts by the Tainan District Court and sentenced today to an executable sentence of 10 years and 6 months in prison.
The Tainan District Court's verdict stated that Chang committed 8 counts of indecent assault against a female under 14, with sentences of 3 years and 4 months (2 counts) and 3 years and 2 months (6 counts) respectively; 3 counts of an adult intentionally committing opportunistic indecent assault against a child, with sentences of 2 years (2 counts) and 1 year (1 count) respectively; 1 count of indecency against a female under 14, sentenced to 8 months; and 25 counts of creating child sexual abuse material, with each count sentenced to 1 year and 3 months.
The panel of judges ruled for an executable sentence of 10 years and 6 months. The mobile phone used to film the victims' sexual images, two portable hard drives storing the images, and a fishing ice bucket used as a tool to set up camera equipment during filming were all confiscated. The verdict can be appealed.
The verdict pointed out that Chang, knowing that the students at the after-school center were all children under 12 and their knowledge and judgment regarding sex and indecent acts were not yet mature, acted to satisfy his own lust. Between June 2019 and June 2025, at locations such as the student lounge, classroom, counter, and restroom of the after-school center, he committed offenses of forcible indecent assault, opportunistic indecent assault, and indecency against multiple young girls, as well as creating sexual images of unknown girls a total of 25 times.
The verdict stated that the entire case came to light after one of the victims filled out a gender equality worksheet at school in September 2025, which was then reported to the police by the school. During the trial, the defendant's confession matched the testimony of witnesses, and there was relevant documentary and physical evidence, confirming the defendant's offenses.
The verdict noted that the defendant's actions not only adversely affected the physical and mental well-being and personality development of each victim but also seriously violated their rights to sexual autonomy and sexual privacy. The number of victims in this case is very large, and the defendant's actions were truly despicable. However, considering the defendant's admission of guilt, his reaching settlements with some of the victims' parents, and the opinions expressed by the victims and complainants, the defendant was given an executable sentence of 10 years and 6 months.
