In September 2020, Xu Nan met another female netizen in the same way. He first asked her to meet and watch a movie, and went to the hotel together. After entering the room, Xu Nan ignored the other party's indication of physical discomfort and refused to resist, and forcibly went on.

In the previous case, the Xinbei District Court sentenced Xu Nan to 3 years and October in December 2020; in the latter case, the Xinbei District Court considered that he committed the crime again after just 7 months, which was serious and vicious, and sentenced him to an aggravated sentence of 5 years.

Xu Nan was dissatisfied with the latter case and received a heavy sentence of 5 years. He appealed to the second instance, emphasizing that his intelligence fell within the range of borderline or borderline insufficiency of intelligence, and he had schizophrenia and depression-type tendencies, as well as Asperger's disease, and the judge should give a lighter sentence.

The Supreme Court pointed out that on the day of the incident, Xu Nan planned his own journey, arrived at the agreed location by car, watched a movie with the victim, and went to the hotel together, checked in, and finally left the hotel and took the train back to his residence in Hsinchu. There was no abnormality. It is enough to prove that the consciousness was clear at the time, and he knew what he was doing, and it was difficult to recognize that the judgment ability was significantly reduced due to mental illness.

The high court held that the first instance considered Xu Nan guilty of two consecutive sexual assault cases in a short period of time, his conduct was not good, the victim wanted a "heavier sentence", he had worked as an assistant engineer, and he had to support his parents, and he was sentenced to 5 years in prison. Neither the sentence nor the punishment is inappropriate and should be upheld. Xu Nan's appeal was dismissed a few days ago, and he can still appeal.
