Why It Matters
In recent years, there have been a series of cases of teacher-student romance in Taiwan.

You can't have a teacher-student relationship even if you are in love with each other! Recently, a female teacher from a high school in the south talked about a teacher-student relationship with two students at school. Not only did she put her head on the student's chest, but she also went on sweet outings and had sex with the students after graduation. Although the Gender Equality Council investigation determined that it did not constitute sexual harassment because it was a "two-way trip", Ms. Lin still violated the Teachers Law and her performance evaluation was affected. In another case, a male teacher in a higher vocational school had been dating a student for one and a half years. In the end, although it did not constitute sexual harassment, he was still fired and banned from teaching for life.
The verdict pointed out that in a national high school in the south, a female teacher surnamed Lin had a teacher-student relationship with two students A and B. Lin served as student A’s class tutor from 2016 to 2019. During this time, the two often chatted through messaging software, and their relationship was particularly sweet; after graduation Later, Jia Sheng and Lin Nv arranged a sweet trip to Kenting for 3 days and 2 nights, and had sex at their residence. After the trip, Lin Nv even expressed their love through LINE, sending messages such as "I feel your love and I hope you do too" and "We have always been each other's mirror."
Unexpectedly, after student A became a junior, he suddenly reported Ms. Lin to the university’s sex committee. After investigation, it was determined that the time when the two parties had sex was after student A graduated. However, the interaction between the two parties had been close for a long time, and the relationship between the two was considered to be beyond the scope of the teacher-student relationship.
What’s exaggerated is that during the investigation, the investigation team discovered that Lin was also in a relationship with another Yisheng. Yisheng studied at the school from 2016 to 2019. At that time, he would always go to Lin’s office to chat during morning self-study, after class and lunch break, and warmly delivered prepared fruits.
In addition, during a briefing session on how to apply for the exam, Ms. Lin lay on the chest of Yisheng and hugged his shoulders affectionately. The two of them would exchange messages such as "I love you" in private, and their behavior clearly transcended the ordinary teacher-student relationship. However, because the two love affairs were "two-way", they were deemed not to constitute sexual harassment by the Sex Education Committee. Since Ms. Lin had sex with Mr. Yi after he graduated, it did not constitute sexual assault.
However, the school still determined that Ms. Lin violated the Teacher Law and did not meet the requirements of "good moral character and can serve as a role model for students." The decision was made to classify her in the 111 school year-end evaluation as "poor moral character and the circumstances are not serious" and retain her original salary. Unexpectedly, Ms. Lin refused to accept it and filed administrative lawsuits and appeals. However, the Kaohsiung Higher Administrative Court and the Supreme Administrative Court ruled against her.
Coincidentally, a teacher-student relationship occurred in a national higher vocational school in Kaohsiung 15 years ago. At that time, a male teacher surnamed Li was serving as a tutor for Bingsheng who was under 16 years old, but he often had trysts with Bingsheng on campus. Li often called Bingsheng to the office just to hug him on the grounds of official business. The two maintained an intimate relationship for one and a half years, during which they had multiple sexual encounters. Li Nan even filmed the process and told Bingsheng that it was for masturbation.
Nine years later, Bingsheng reported to his alma mater that he had been violated and harassed by Mr. Li during the past period. However, after investigation, the Sex Peace Association determined that there was no positive evidence to prove that Mr. Li had used coercive means to succeed. In the subjective perception of the parties, the interaction between the two parties was of a consensual nature. Therefore, it could not be determined that Mr. Li had sexually harassed or assaulted Bingsheng.
However, the school determined that Li Nan violated the Teachers Law and dismissed him and banned him from employment for life. However, Li Nan still tried to make a final struggle and filed an administrative lawsuit. However, the Kaohsiung High Administrative Court ruled that he lost the case. Subsequently, the entire case was confirmed because he did not appeal.
