A doctor at a medical center in New Taipei City, identified as "Ah-Chih" (pseudonym), has been arrested following allegations of soliciting an online sex worker and secretly filming her during a paid encounter. The incident highlights concerns about digital sexual violence and the potential for individuals in high-status professions to exploit trust.

The victim, "Xiao-Qin" (pseudonym), a working professional, reportedly met Ah-Chih through a dating app. He offered her financial assistance, leading to an agreement for a paid sexual encounter at a motel. During the act, Xiao-Qin discovered Ah-Chih filming her nude with his phone. She confronted him, but he allegedly pushed her away. Fearing for her safety and the evidence, she immediately called the police.

Upon arrival, police apprehended Ah-Chih and seized his phone. While Ah-Chih reportedly denied the filming, admitting only to the sexual transaction, investigators are attempting to recover deleted files from his device. Xiao-Qin expressed her shock and disappointment, stating she trusted him because he was a doctor, a profession she associated with higher moral standards. The police have charged Ah-Chih with violating sexual privacy. Both individuals also face penalties for engaging in the paid sexual transaction under the Social Order Maintenance Act.

The New Taipei City Police Department's Women and Children Protection Unit has issued a warning about the "blind spots" in crime prevention related to individuals in high socio-economic professions, such as doctors and lawyers. They advise the public to remain vigilant about personal privacy and safety in online interactions and private spaces, regardless of the other party's educational background or social status. The unit also provided practical tips for preventing and responding to secret filming, urging victims to prioritize their safety and contact authorities immediately.

Because you are a doctor, I trusted you so much!
