Since 2016, Hong Nan lied to a female college student that she was followed by many "devil god boys" and that breast cancer could be prevented by regular practice, and sexual assault was performed by chanting mantras and practicing law.

Not only that, Hong Nan also lied to another female college student: "Your body is negative, if you don't receive treatment, you will have uterine fibroids, you will not have a good marriage in the future, and you will die unexpectedly." Sexual assault succeeded in the fortune-telling car.

According to investigations by the police, a female high school student was also deceived by Hong Nan, thinking that she would suffer from cervical cancer and breast cancer and die at the age of nineteen if she did not receive treatment. Five or six times, the locations are all over the parking lots or on-street parking spaces in New Taipei City and Taoyuan City.

Hong Nan denied committing the crime, and the victim said angrily, "I hope to have a heavy sentence and lock him up to death."

The collegial panel also reprimanded Hong Nan for using strange words to scare the victim, and then committing sexual assault in the name of religious healing, causing physical and mental trauma to the victim. Two victims were minors at the time and committed 68 crimes of aggravated forced sexual intercourse, a total of 169 crimes, so they were sentenced to 22 years.
