A 19-year-old girl named Zheng in Kaohsiung had a sexual relationship with her 15-year-old boyfriend, and due to the lack of coercion and mutual consent during the process, the judge eventually granted her probation. Despite being sentenced to 3 months for the offense of having sex with a minor, the probation was given based on their reconciliation, with the condition of participating in a 2-hour legal education program, and the case can still be appealed. The judgement detailed the girl's knowing involvement with the minor in 2022, emphasizing the satisfaction of her desires leading to the sexual encounters, with the boy initially reluctant but later willing to continue. The mother of the boy reported to the police after discovering the incidents. The girl admitted her actions, attributing them to a momentary lapse of judgment, and expressed willingness to reconcile with her underage boyfriend before the prosecution. The judge emphasized the inappropriate behavior of the girl, but considered the consensual nature of the relationship and the reconciliation, thus a 3-month sentence for the offense but granted probation, with the requirement of a 2-hour legal education course and the possibility of appeal. The article concludes with a warning against imitating such behavior and the importance of respecting bodily autonomy.
