A woman from Xinzhuang, New Taipei, Taiwan, agreed to record an oral sex video with her former ex-boyfriend at a hotel, on the condition that it would be deleted afterwards. However, after the two broke up, the ex-boyfriend transferred the video to the woman’s subsequent ex-boyfriend, and it eventually ended up in the hands of her current boyfriend.
According to a report by Hong Kong 01, the victim was shocked to discover the incident and sued both ex-boyfriends. The judge found both defendants guilty of the crime of "distributing sexual images without consent" and ordered each to compensate the victim 100,000 New Taiwan dollars (about 12,400 Malaysian ringgit), as well as to promise to delete the footage. If they distribute the video again, they must each pay an additional 500,000 New Taiwan dollars in compensation. Both defendants were also sentenced to six months in prison, but this can be commuted to a fine, and the sentence is suspended for two years.
The case occurred in March 2024. The victim and her ex-ex-boyfriend engaged in sexual activity at a hotel in Taipei. Out of trust, she agreed to have a video of her performing oral sex recorded with a mobile phone, but made him promise to delete it after viewing. However, after their breakup, the man did not delete the video as agreed; in October of the same year, he instead, without her consent, shared his screen via Messenger to show the sexual video to the woman's next ex-boyfriend.
The latter saved the video by recording his screen and, again without the victim's consent, sent it through LINE to a female netizen surnamed Ding. Ding then sent the video to the victim’s current boyfriend. The victim, upon learning of the situation, reported it to the police.
During the investigation, both ex-boyfriends admitted their guilt. Police seized their mobile phones, computers, and other items, and prosecutors subsequently filed charges. The case was heard at the Keelung District Court. Taking into account the confessions of both male defendants, the judge ordered each to compensate the victim 100,000 New Taiwan dollars and promise to delete the footage. If they distribute it again, they will face an additional 500,000 New Taiwan dollars in compensation. The parties reached a settlement. The judge found them guilty of "distributing sexual images without consent," sentenced them to six months in prison (commutable to a fine), each with a two-year suspended sentence, and confiscated the phones, computers, and other evidence involved. The verdict is final and cannot be appealed.
