The High Court yesterday found fugitive South Korean academic Park Jae-kyung guilty of sexual harassment, upholding a ruling by the Taipei District Court, which came with a 14-month sentence.
Park fled Taiwan last year when his travel restrictions lapsed.
Hired as a contract assistant professor at National Chengchi University’s Department of Korean Language and Culture, Park began teaching at the school in February 2017, but was dismissed in July that year following accusations of sexual harassment by several female students.
The Taipei District Court in December 2018 found Park guilty and sentenced him to 14 months in prison, which can be commuted to a fine of NT$420,000 (US$13,848). [FULL STORY]
