Kung Yi-ting (龔益霆), son of former Sanlih Television Co (三立電視公司) director Kung Mei-fu (龔美富), was released on NT$1 million (US$33,261) bail on Monday evening after questioning by prosecutors for alleged sexual offenses against actress Chiang Tsu-ping (江祖平).

Chiang and some other complainants also said that Kung Yi-ting took advantage of his father’s authority to befriend actresses and female staff, and sexually harass and assault them.
Chiang on Aug. 18 began posting messages on social media, writing that a supporting actress had asked her for help, saying that a male Sanlih employee sexually assaulted her and recorded the conduct against her will.
She continued sharing more messages, saying that several other staff members had been sexually harassed and they could present messages as proof, and that some of them had quit their jobs.
She shared a photo of the alleged offender, with a big “X” covering some parts of his face, and some social media users identified the man as Kung Yi-ting.
Kung Yi-ting said that he and Chiang had dated earlier, but Chiang said that she is a victim of sexual crimes.
She filed for a judicial investigation, saying that Kung Yi-ting drugged and raped her.

China has two carriers in operation — the Liaoning and the Shandong — with the Fujian undergoing sea trials. Although the PLAN needs time to train the Fujian’s air wing and
Taiwanese celebrities Hank Chen (陳漢典) and Lulu Huang (黃路梓茵) announced yesterday that they are planning to marry.

The AIT’s comments harmed the Republic of China’s (ROC) national interests and contradicted a part of the “six assurances” stipulating that the US would not change its official position on Taiwan’s sovereignty, Hsiao said.
