  • A female police officer in Tainan accused a primary school teacher of bullying her son and making sexually suggestive remarks to her.

A female police officer in Tainan has lost both criminal and civil cases in her accusation that a primary school teacher bullied her son and made inappropriate sexual advances toward her. The officer had initially lodged a complaint with the school, but it did not lead to the desired outcome.

Following the school's response, the officer pursued criminal charges against the teacher. However, prosecutors initially issued a non-indictment decision, which was later upheld even after an appeal. This legal setback meant the criminal avenue for her allegations was closed.

Undeterred, the officer then initiated a civil lawsuit. In this new legal battle, she claimed the teacher had fabricated a statement implying she had said, "If we become friends, enemies become relatives." The officer argued this fabricated remark led to public misinterpretations and damaged her reputation. Despite her efforts, this civil suit also resulted in a loss for the officer.
