Campus Safety Red Alert: Kaohsiung Junior High Girl Faces Long-Term Sexual Harassment by Classmate; School's Reporting Delayed,

In Kaohsiung, a junior high school first-grader, just two months into her studies, endured two months of continuous sexual harassment and indecent assault by a male classmate within the school campus. The male student repeatedly assaulted her by 'hugging her from behind while standing' and 'thrusting his lower body against her buttocks,' even forcibly pulling her into the restroom to verbally abuse her. His actions were extremely malicious. The victim suffered prolonged physical and mental distress, experiencing severe symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, and school refusal. She was also ostracized by her peers, eventually being diagnosed with 'Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety Symptoms' and was forced to transfer schools for treatment, away from the painful environment. Enraged, the girl's parents jointly sued the male student and his parents for 600,000 NTD in damages. After review by the Qiaotou District Court, the juvenile court found the male student's actions to be in violation of the Criminal Code's 'Aggravated Indecent Assault' charge. However, due to his status as a minor, only a reprimand and weekend life guidance were ordered. In the civil case, considering the financial situations of both parties, the severity of the assault, and the severe psychological trauma suffered by the victim, the judge ruled that the male student and his parents must jointly compensate 140,000 NTD. The case is still subject to appeal. According to the 'Gender Equality Education Act,' schools have an obligation to protect students. If a campus sexual harassment incident occurs due to the school's failure to fulfill its duties, public schools are liable for state compensation. Although the school in this case initiated a campus safety report and investigation after the incident, the victimized female student continued to suffer for two months with no recourse, indicating that the campus safety protection mechanism clearly failed to function in a timely manner. This trashy guy, and he only gets extra weekend classes with no other punishment?? Only fined 140,000 NTD and can still appeal?? What kind of garbage school allows bullying, and what kind of rotten justice system protects the perpetrator 🤬
