[Reporter Wu Shengru/Keelung Report] On March 21 last year, a 40-year-old man surnamed Hou met a girl under the age of 18 Xiaojie (pseudonym) through a dating app. The two agreed to have sex for 2,500 yuan.

At around 4:00 p.m. that day, Hou Nan drove the girl to a motel to complete the sex transaction.

Afterwards, the girl's father learned of the incident and sued Hou Nan angrily.

The Keelung District Court recently concluded that Hou Nan was sentenced to 3 months in prison for violating the Children and Juvenile Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act, and was fined 90,000 yuan by Yike.

According to the investigation by the police, the man surnamed Hou drove a rented car to Zhongshan District, Keelung City, and took Xiaojie, who was under 18 years old, to a motel in Anle District. He had sex with Xiaojie and paid 2500 yuan. transaction fee in dollars.

Afterwards, Xiaojie's father learned of the incident, and took his daughter to the Keelung City Police Department's Women's and Children's Team to file a complaint against Hou Nan, saying that he did not want to meet Hou Nan again, would not accept mediation, and was even less willing to reconcile with the other party.

After Hou Nan arrived at the case, he also admitted to committing the crime. He told the prosecutors that he had indeed negotiated with the victim girl for 2,500 yuan for sex transactions through dating software, and he drove her to pick her up to the motel.

After the trial, the judge believed that Hou Nan had no criminal record and was of good conduct. However, he knew that the victim girl was only 17 years old and had immature ability to make independent decisions about sex, but he failed to restrain himself and still had sexual intercourse with the other party. This has violated 18 years old. A person over the age of 16 and a person over the age of 16 but under the age of 18 are considered sexual intercourse with a price.

Considering that Hou Nan admitted to the crime, had a good attitude after committing the crime, and weighed his criminal motive, purpose, and means of peace, the judge sentenced Hou Nan to 3 months in prison and fined by Yike under the Children and Juvenile Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act.
