After Xiaoqi obtained the video of Xiaopei being sexually assaulted, she not only failed to notify her teacher, but instead passed the file to a classmate named Liao after school in January 2024, and then directly played the private video and recording on her mobile phone for other students to watch in the school classroom.

Junior high school girl Xiao Pei (pseudonym) was sexually assaulted by a man surnamed Chen and took private images and recordings. After her classmate Xiao Qi (pseudonym) obtained the files, she played them through communication software in school for other students to watch. Xiao Pei suffered a physical and mental breakdown, suffered from depression, and even died. The mother also blamed herself for the self-mutilation. The first trial only awarded Xiaoqi and Qi's father 150,000 yuan in compensation. Xiaopei's mother and daughter appealed to the second trial. The judge found that the original judgment was too low and changed the sentence to "another joint and several compensation" of 650,000 yuan for Xiaoqi and her father. The mother and daughter were awarded 800,000 yuan in compensation.

The verdict pointed out that Xiao Pei and Xiao Qi were classmates in junior high school. After Xiao Qi introduced the man surnamed Chen to Xiao Pei, Chen Nan invited Xiao Pei to stay in a hotel, had sex without Xiao Pei's consent, and even took private videos. Chen Nan mentioned this matter when chatting with Xiao Qi, and also disclosed his private video. The secret video was passed to Xiaoqi for viewing. After Xiaoqi obtained the file, she not only failed to notify her teacher, but instead passed the file to a classmate named Liao after school in January 2024, and then directly played the private video and recording on her mobile phone for other students to watch in the school classroom.

When Xiao Pei learned that her best friend had maliciously spread her privacy, she suffered a severe mental blow. Not only did she feel physically dirty, but she also resorted to the dangerous behavior of self-mutilation with a box cutter to ease her mood. After being diagnosed with depression, she continued to seek medical treatment. Pei's mother also fell ill due to day and night care and extreme self-blame. The mother and daughter were so angry that they filed a civil lawsuit for 800,000 yuan, but the Kaohsiung District Court of first instance only awarded 150,000 yuan in compensation.

Xiao Pei and her daughter appealed against the appeal. During the trial at the Kaohsiung High Branch Court, the judge held that Xiao Qi knew clearly that Xiao Pei was afraid and disgusted by the sexual assault she had just experienced. Not only did she have no empathy, but she also circulated and played private images and recordings as gossip, seriously affecting Xiao Pei's mental health and causing The mother and daughter suffered extremely severe mental pain. The first trial judged that the compensation amount of 100,000 yuan to Xiaopei and 50,000 yuan to Pei's mother was obviously too low. The verdict was changed to Xiaoqi and her father to "continue to pay" 500,000 yuan to Xiaopei and 150,000 yuan to Pei's mother. The mother and daughter were compensated a total of 800,000 yuan, and the whole case was settled.
