Woman's Revenge Post About Soldier Ex Lands Her in Jail

A woman's revenge plot against her ex-girlfriend, a soldier, has landed her in legal trouble. Liu, unhappy that her former partner Wei had not repaid a 15,000 TWD debt, resorted to anonymous online attacks.

Liu posted Wei's photos, name, and military branch on Facebook groups like "Complain to My Superior." She further fabricated stories, accusing Wei of using her military dormitory as a "love nest." The accusations caused Wei significant distress and led to disciplinary action within the military.

Initially denying any involvement and claiming she didn't know Wei, Liu's defense crumbled when her phone rang in court, revealing her identity. Investigators matched the timing of her debt collection messages with the anonymous posts. A lower court found Liu guilty of illegally using personal information and defamation, sentencing her to five months in prison, which could be commuted to a fine.

Liu appealed, insisting her account was faked. However, the appellate court found that the photos used in the posts were exclusively held by Liu and taken by her. The court ruled that Liu's actions damaged Wei's reputation and personal evaluation. Upholding the original verdict, the court dismissed Liu's appeal as lacking merit and evidence, emphasizing her continued denial of guilt and false claims of impersonation.

The woman used the internet to disseminate private personal information about another person, which diminished the victim's personal evaluation and damaged her reputation.
