A man surnamed Li in Taichung (investigated separately) pretended to be a woman and used women's videos and voice changers to lure men to masturbate through naked video chats. After secretly recording them, he sold sex videos in online groups under the names "Zhi Tiao Military Police" and "Zhi Tiao Young Teeth". The man surnamed Zhang became a member and contacted him to purchase. He spent more than 40,000 yuan on seven occasions to buy 24 videos for his own enjoyment. In June this year, the prosecutor followed the lead and came to the door to seize him. Zhang Nan confessed to the crime and reached a settlement with the three victims. He was sentenced to 2 years in prison with a probation of 3 years for 7 crimes including illegal collection of personal information by non-public agencies.
The verdict pointed out that a man surnamed Li (investigated in a separate case) has been looking for adult and underage male netizens on dating software since 2022, falsely claiming to be female netizens to chat with each other, and then encouraging male netizens to video chat naked and masturbate with each other. Li also uploaded masturbation videos of unknown women obtained in advance to video software, and spoke synchronously with voice changer software. He trusted the male netizens to masturbate in front of the camera and then secretly recorded them, defrauding thousands of male netizens into masturbating sexual images.

After Li Nan obtained the images, he set up groups on Telegram such as "Zhidiao Beginners", "Zhitiao Military Police", "Zhitiao Athletes", and "Zhitiao Young Teeth" ("Zhitiao" means "straight male training"). Based on the face, body, occupation, adult status and other conditions of the person who was stolen, he set up groups to sell sexual images and established a membership classification system.
A man surnamed Zhang joined the membership in January 2023, transferred 42,150 yuan to Li Nan's account in seven times, purchased 24 sex videos, downloaded them and watched them. After the police seized Li Nan, they followed the lead and visited Zhang Nan in June this year, and found relevant videos on Zhang Nan's tablet and mobile phone. After the three victims complained, the investigation and prosecution were carried out.
During the trial at the Taichung District Court, Zhang Nan confessed to the crime, reached a settlement with the three victims, and paid compensation. The judge believed that Zhang Nan paid a price to collect and possess sexual images in order to satisfy his personal viewing desire and ignored the privacy rights of others. After deliberation, Zhang Nan confessed to the crime and reached an agreement with the victims. Reconciliation was reached. According to the crime of illegally collecting personal information by non-public agencies and the crime of adults intentionally collecting personal information from juvenile delinquents by non-public agencies, they were sentenced to prison terms ranging from July to 1 year and April. The combined sentence shall be 2 years in prison. 60,000 yuan shall be paid to the public treasury within 1 year after the judgment is finalized.
The judge also considered that Mr. Zhang had no previous convictions and only accidentally violated the law due to a moment of inadvertence. After the crime, he confessed to the crime and settled the mediation with the three complainants and paid compensation. He gave the sentence a suspended sentence of 3 years, with the possibility of appeal.
