Hualien Official Accused of Serial Sexual Harassment, Including Explicit Question to Employee

A director in the Hualien County Government's ethics office faces serious allegations of sexual harassment, including a previous incident where he allegedly tricked a new female assistant into sharing a hotel room under the guise of work training. The assistant reported the incident, leading to an investigation.

Further details emerged from Hualien County Councilor Tsai Yi-ching, who stated that the official, identified by his surname Liu, has a pattern of harassing young female employees. According to the councilor, Liu would approach younger female staff, demand their phone numbers, and become aggressive or threatening if refused. He allegedly even made a sexually explicit comment, asking a female employee, "Do you have orgasms?"

This alleged pattern of behavior, coupled with the recent hotel room incident, has prompted calls for a thorough investigation and disciplinary action. The case raises concerns about the safety of female employees within the Hualien County Government and the effectiveness of existing mechanisms to address sexual harassment.
