The Courts Returned His Innocence on the Charges of Having Sex with a Minor
The man, Liu had sexual intercourse with a sixteen-year-old high school female student, the district attorney of Taoyuan District Attorney’s Office miscounted the age of the adolescent, and, indicted the man on having sexual intercourse with underage girls between fourteen and sixteen, and filed for a simplified verdict. The courts found, that the adolescent WAS sixteen, that it wasn’t a crime, found Liu not guilty, and this can be appealed. The Taoyuan D.A.’s Office admitted that they’d miscounted the age of the young woman, and that as the D.A. received the verdict from the courts, they will handle the matter with discretion.
A senior judge staid, the district attorney miscounted the age of the victim, and used the wrong laws to indict the man, that in the trials, the D.A. didn’t correct the mistake, nor, taking back the charges, causing a series of mistakes; and although, the man was found, not guilty by the courts, it’d already, impacted the right of the man.
The indictment pointed out, that Liu and the adolescent (born in May of 2000) were a couple, on September 4th, Liu had consensual sex with the adolescent, the school found out and called the cops; as the D.A. was reviewing the facts, Liu claimed that the sex was consensual, the district attorney charged him with having sex with adolescents between ages fourteen and sixteen, and filed for a simplified verdict.
While the Taoyuan District Court was overseeing the case, the courts found, that at the time, the adolescent female was already, sixteen, that it’d not, fitted to the requirements of the charges that the district attorneys are, prosecuting the man on, that it didn’t fit for a simplified verdict either, and changed the proceedings to the normal court trials, Liu admitted that he’d had sex with consent with the teen, which coincides with the findings of the police and the D.A.’s office.
The judge believed, that Penal Code 227, section 3 is based off of the victims’ ages being between fourteen and sixteen, and the teen in question is already sixteen, and Liu didn’t force her against her will, that his actions weren’t, criminal, and that he should not be punished, and found Liu, not guilty.
And so, this is, how the law works, it only protects children under a certain age, without taking into considerations, how young these people are, when they’re, “consenting” to having sexual intercourse with someone, and that, is a huge hole in the system!
