Taiwanese man jailed for harassing ex-wife, revealing personal data

A man in Keelung, Taiwan, has been sentenced to five months in prison for persistently harassing his ex-wife, even nine years after their divorce. The court found him guilty of violating a protection order and illegally disclosing personal information.

Despite a protection order prohibiting any form of harassment or contact, the man repeatedly posted insulting and threatening messages on social media platforms like Threads and Facebook. His posts included derogatory remarks and wishes of ill fortune upon his ex-wife and her family. He also publicly shared her national identification number and residential address.

I will open fire with a gun when I get out of the hospital and will repay you all.

Adding to the intimidation, the man sent explicit threats via email, stating his intention to "open fire" upon his release from the hospital. These actions caused significant psychological distress and fear for the ex-wife's safety. She subsequently reported the incidents to the police with supporting evidence.

The court ruled that the man's actions constituted more than minor harassment, classifying them as "unlawful mental infringement" under the domestic violence prevention law. He was sentenced to four months for violating personal data protection laws and three months for breaching the protection order, resulting in a combined sentence of five months.
