A woman suspected of having semen spilled on her at Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station on the Taipei MRT Bannan Line called the police for help

A young woman in her 20s in Taipei City took the Taipei MRT Bannan Line and got off at Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station during off-duty hours yesterday. She found that her hakama was stained with an unknown liquid and suspected that someone had sprayed her with semen. She was so frightened that she filed a sexual harassment complaint to the Da’an Police Station. The police have sent the relevant evidence to the Criminal Bureau for identification and are continuing to review surveillance images to trace the whereabouts of the suspect.

The young victim posted on the social threads that she was wearing a blue top and black culottes and took the Taipei MRT Bannan Line with her boyfriend yesterday evening. They were heading from City Hall Station to Zhongxiao Xinsheng. However, when she got off from Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station and prepared to transfer to the Xinlu Line, she noticed an unknown liquid suspected of semen in her culottes along the way. Her boyfriend told her that a man had approached her, but he didn't think much about it because the carriage was crowded during off-duty hours.

The woman said that she found the liquid was still wet when she got off the car. It was suspected that it happened on the way from Zhongxiao Dunhua Station to Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station. After the incident, she called the police and handed her hakama to the police for evidence collection. However, the exact time and place of the incident, the composition of the liquid and whether it was related to the man's approach are still under investigation. She also asked the public to contact her if they filmed the process.

In this regard, the Da'an Police Station stated that it received a report at around 6 o'clock last night that someone was splashed with an unknown liquid at the Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station of the Taipei MRT. Officers were dispatched to the scene. A woman took the MRT from the City Hall MRT Station. After exiting the Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station, she found that her hakama was suspected to be stained with unknown liquid.

The police pointed out that more than a month ago, a woman was splashed with an unknown liquid while riding the escalator at Zhongxiao Fuxing Station in Beijie. The suspect was clearly filmed following her and she was arrested. The case is currently being expanded with the MRT Police Team's review of image data. The suspect will be arrested as soon as possible and a letter will be sent to the Social Affairs Bureau for investigation in accordance with the administrative complaint procedure of the Sexual Harassment Prevention and Control Act.

The police call on everyone to respect everyone's bodily autonomy and not to harass, secretly photograph or touch others at will. Any form of sexual harassment is a serious infringement of others' bodily autonomy. If you find any violation, please call the 110 report hotline immediately.
