The retired motorcycle shop owner surnamed Liao, who is well-known in the old car industry, was accused of taking advantage of his girlfriend's granddaughter and taking advantage of the girl's financial dependence on him. From the girl's elementary school until she reached adulthood, she lured the girl to the motorcycle shop or when she was sleeping on the pretext of buying McDonald's, taking advantage of her power. He sexually assaulted, molested, and filmed sexual images for 12 years. In April last year, the police received a report and searched Liao Nan's residence with a search ticket and found him. The Chiayi District Prosecutor's Office listed him as having committed indecent assaults, sexual assaults and other crimes 1,110 times, and he was prosecuted for crimes such as obstructing sexual autonomy. The Chiayi District Court concluded that except for 36 of the crimes without positive evidence, the rest were sentenced to 9 years and February for crimes such as sexual intercourse with girls under 14 years old. The entire case can be appealed.
The prosecutor's investigation revealed that due to the divorce of the victim's parents, the victim had lived with and been cared for by her grandmother since she was a child. Liao Nan, who was over 50 years old, and the girl's grandmother were boyfriend and girlfriend. The girl called Liao Nan "grandpa" and relied on Liao Nan for financial support. However, Liao Nan actually used the girl to be supervised by him. Since the girl was in elementary school, Liao took advantage of the girl's lap and touched her indecently, and also lured the girl to a motorcycle shop on the pretext of buying McDonald's to sexually assault her. When the girl was sleeping or on weekends, Liao took the opportunity to peek or touch her breasts and lower body, and sexually assaulted her many times.
According to the prosecutor's investigation, when the victim entered high school, Liao Nan did not stop. Because the victim resisted and asked Liao Nan not to do this kind of thing to her again, her cousin knew what he was doing to her, etc., Liao Nan stopped and attempted molestation. Subsequently, he took multiple sexual images and showed them to his girlfriend and the victim's grandmother. From 2013 to March 2025, he molested and sexually assaulted the victim a total of 1,110 times.
The judge of the Jiayuan Collegiate Tribunal held that Liao had sexual intercourse several times and molested young girls. He had no regard for human ethics. He took sexual images many times and showed the sexual images to the victim’s grandmother, which caused serious harm to the victim’s body and mind. The victim had no willingness to mediate. He had sexual intercourse with a girl under 14 years old and took advantage of his power. He was sentenced to nine years and two months in prison for the crimes of sexual intercourse, filming electronic signals of juveniles committing obscene acts, and using other methods to allow others to view sexual images of juveniles. The number and frequency of the other 36 crimes of molestation and sexual assault were based only on a single statement from the victim. Liao Nan denied it, and there was no positive evidence to prove it. He was found not guilty.
