After an investigation by the school's gender equality education committee, the male tutor constituted a serious case of sexual harassment, and it was decided to dismiss him in September of that year.

During the investigation by the prosecutors, the male tutor complained and claimed that if he really had such a habit, there would not be only one female student victimized. He also said, "I was admitted to the teacher's college because my family was poor, and I would not do it for my own sake. My own desire ruined my future, I really didn't do it."

The prosecutor's investigation showed that the female student was originally normal, but suddenly she was depressed and committed suicide when she was in the fifth grade. After being counseled by the teachers in the elementary and middle school counseling rooms, she believed that she was suffering from depression.

The Keelung City Health Bureau also found that her symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome were obvious. It was not until she was hospitalized for treatment in high school in 2019 that she often dreamed of boys' genitals, and only then did she say that the fifth-grade male tutor of the national primary school had taken her to watch pornographic films. Handjob for him with pulling her hand.

Prosecutors determined that the female student suffered from depression and was related to being molested by a male tutor, and prosecuted him under Article 227, item 2 of the Criminal Law, "the crime of molesting a woman under the age of 14."

During the court hearing, the male tutor's defense lawyer argued that the female student only accused the male tutor of molesting after she was in high school, and it has been more than five years since the fifth grade of the female student's elementary school.

In addition, the evidence presented by the prosecution was based on the female students' dreams. The school counseling records did not contain any criminal records of the male tutors, nor did they mention the details of the case, so it could not prove that the male tutors really molested the female students.

The three judges of the collegial panel believed that, based on the female students' counseling and medical treatment records, although the prosecution could prove the fact that the female student's emotional reaction, depression, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome in the fifth grade of elementary school, the female student's physical and mental changes , It is difficult to prove whether it is related to the molestation by the male tutor that the female student refers to.

Whether the accusation of the female student was a dream or happened in real life is difficult to verify, and there is no other evidence to prove that the male tutor molested the female student. Therefore, it is believed that, based on the evidence collected by the prosecution, the collegial panel cannot be allowed to accuse the male tutor. He was charged with indecent acts, and formed evidence beyond reasonable doubt, so the male tutor was acquitted.
