Justin Lee sex scandal

This article is about the sexual assaults in Taiwan. For the American actor, see Justin Lee (actor). For other uses, see Justin Lee (disambiguation).

The Justin Lee sex scandal involves a Taiwanese man, Justin Lee (Chinese: 李宗瑞; born 1985), who was convicted of nine rapes, during which he had drugged women and then recorded the sexual assaults.

Lee is the son of former Yuanta Financial Holding Co board member Lee Yueh-tsang, and known for his presence at attending fashion parties and nightclubs. In 2011 two sisters filed police report against Lee. During the investigation, the police discovered recorded files on Lee's computer and arrested him in November 2012. Prosecutors said that since August 2009, Lee had been drugging women or getting them drunk in luxury nightclubs around Taiwan, before taking them to his home to rape them while unconscious. Lee fled Taipei and was on the run for 23 days before turning himself in.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Lee was originally charged with sexually assaulting 28 women and filming the acts, but the court eventually proceeded with 9 charges of rape and 15 charges of filming the women during sex acts without their consent.

In the first sentencing at the Taipei district court, Lee was originally to be jailed for 22 years and had to pay compensation of NT$14.25 million to the victims. On September 2, 2014, following an appeal, Lee's sentence was increased to 80 year jail sentence for his offences. However, he would only have to serve 30 years as that was the maximum punishment for those charges by law.[10] He was also ordered to pay NT$27.75 million compensation to victims.[11][12]
