A male student at a national university in Kaohsiung invited a female graduate school senior to the Railroad Park Sky Tower to admire the scenery in 2021. However, during their visit, he suddenly hugged, kissed, and rubbed against her, causing the senior to report the incident to the police. After court proceedings, he was sentenced to 50 days in prison for sexual harassment. The senior appealed the sentence, but it was rejected by the Kaohsiung High Court, confirming the original judgement. The court determined that the male student's behavior caused the senior significant distress and ordered him to pay compensation of NT$80,000. The appeal was dismissed considering his admission of guilt and partial compensation. The importance of respect for bodily autonomy and the consequences of inappropriate behavior was emphasized in the article.
