A peeping Tom has been found around Jhongyuan Road in Hualien City. Residents installed security cameras for their own self protection and consequently got footage of a known male going down the firebreak lanes behind the community and peeping in at a woman having a shower in her bathroom. The victim, unhappy about the punishment being too light, posted the relevant footage on a FaceBook group called “Community Exposure,” calling on the public to take note.
According to the police, the victim called them on Sept. 27 to report a crime. The suspect, surnamed Chen, was identified based on his vehicle registration and the security camera footage. The 40-year-old Chen admitted going to the rear of the victim’s residence at 2am on the morning of the 27th and peeping through a window at the woman having her shower. However, he denied involvement in any other crimes. After the interview he was charged under the Social Order Maintenance Act for knowingly looking into another person’s bedroom, bathroom, toilet, or changing room in such a way as to invade their privacy, and was fined NT$6,000. The victim can also bring a civil lawsuit against the man to demand compensation for damages.

Her face was red — not from blushing, but from the “mala” spice and the heat of the room. Her blond hair clumped to her face like strands of fine spaghetti.

All around them, Kevin’s friends were laughing, shouting, and tossing ingredients into the broth. The air smelled of chili oil and garlic.
