Television presenter Mickey Huang (黃子佼) yesterday was indicted for allegedly possessing sexually explicit videos involving minors.
The Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office indicted Huang after the High Prosecutors’ Office found deficiencies in its initial probe and on April 19 returned the case for further investigation.
Earlier last month, Huang had been given two years of deferred prosecution.
Prosecutors said that they found in their latest investigation that Huang had been a member of the online forum “Chuangyi Sifang” (創意私房) since Feb. 12, 2014.
He purchased sexually explicit videos involving minors, and had downloaded images and videos that featured the breasts and sexual organs of young girls, they said.
A hard drive found at Huang’s residence contained sexually explicit videos involving several women, seven of whom were underage, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors yesterday charged Huang according to provisions of the Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act (兒童及少年性剝削防制條例), while continuing their search to ascertain whether there are more videos and images involving underage girls.
In August last year, Huang was arrested, released on bail of NT$350,000 (US$10,868) and barred from leaving Taiwan after an online personality publicly accused the entertainer of forcibly kissing and taking nude photographs of her when she was 17 — a decade earlier — without her consent.
During raids on Huang’s residence and studio at that time, police seized seven sexually explicit videos involving minors that the presenter had purchased online between Aug. 8, 2017, and July 8 last year.
After being offered a deferred prosecution agreement, Huang admitted to breaking the law and agreed to pay a NT$1.2 million fine within six months, as well as write a statement of repentance within three months.
At that time, prosecutors declined to indict Huang for molestation and other charges, citing insufficient evidence and that he had reached settlements with his accusers.
However, after the prosecutors forwarded the case to the High Prosecutors’ Office, the higher body considered the investigation incomplete and returned the case for further investigation.
Separately, the Shilin District Prosecutors’ Office in Taipei yesterday indicted comedian “Nono” Chen Hsuan-yu (陳宣裕) on seven counts of sexual offenses against seven women.
The charges against Chen include three counts of forced sexual intercourse, two counts of attempted sexual intercourse and two counts of forced obscenity.
Prosecutors asked the court to impose a severe punishment, alleging that Chen showed “low moral conduct” and had “imposed himself, resulting in physical suffering and mental anguish” for the women.”
After his offenses, “he tried to conceal the incidents, and showed no remorse,” they added.
The defendant took advantage of young women seeking jobs in the entertainment industry, prosecutors said.
On pretext of offering work, a ride home after recording a show or a late-night meal, he arranged to meet the women alone in hotel rooms, residences or vehicles in incidents in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013, the indictment said.
He forced himself upon them without consent, it said.
