Taipei, Sept. 9 (CNA) An American man has been found guilty of sexually harassing four
women in Taipei early this year and sentenced to a total of five months imprisonment, after which he will be deported, according to court documents released Sunday.
Joseph Aron, 36, who entered Taiwan on a tourist visa on Jan. 2, was accused of sexually touching two women at different locations in Taipei on Jan. 4. He was later charged with violation of the Sexual Harassment Prevention Act after the victims reported the assaults to the police.
