NONO found guilty of one count of attempted rape
14 May - Taiwanese TV personality NONO has been sentenced to two years and six months in prison for attempted rape.
As reported on Focus Taiwan, the sentencing was announced by the Shilin District Court on 13 May, though the court did not find him guilty of six other charges including three counts of rape and two counts of forcible indecent assault among others.
The guilty ruling was for the attempted rape that took place in February 2011, when NONO, real name Chen Hsuan-yu, tried to assault his victim by a riverbank when he was driving her home after finishing work on a TV show together.
The victim did not dare to speak up about the incident, that is until other women came forward with their experiences in June 2023.
As for the other charges, the court stated that there was insufficient evidence to try NONO with. The court also found some contradictions in some of the testimonies.
It is noted that the ruling can be appealed by both NONO and the prosecution.
