In its ruling, the Shilin District Court said that Yan, 39, had recorded the videos of him having sex with a minor with the intention of sharing them.

The court handed down a seven-month prison sentence, which was suspended for three years and can be commuted to a fine, after Yan reached a settlement in March with the accuser, an Internet personality named Raku （耀樂）, the ruling said.

The amount of the settlement was not disclosed, as there was a confidentiality agreement between the two men, the court said in its verdict, which can be appealed.

In addition, Yan received another sentence of four months in prison for contravening the Personal Data Protection Act （個人資料保護法） for having sent the images to two people.

The four-month jail term was also suspended for three years, but cannot be commuted to a fine.

In the case that came to light in June last year, Raku accused Yan of forced sexual intercourse at the latter’s home, filming the acts without his consent and leaking the videos.

The acts took place from December 2017 to June 2018, when the two were in a relationship, Raku said, adding that he was 16 at the time and Yan was in his early 30s.

Prosecutors decided not to pursue an indictment against Yan for rape due to a lack of evidence.
