The High Court yesterday upheld a 10-year prison sentence against a man for circulating sex videos of three women and two underage girls on the Internet.

The court rejected an appeal by Lee Wei-te (李威德), 27, who lives in Taoyuan’s Lujhu District (蘆竹), and upheld the convictions from two lower court rulings on 15 counts of sexual assault, coercion, endangering personal safety by threat, production and distribution of pornographic content, as well as sexually exploiting minors.

The court handed Lee a total sentence of 12 years and eight months for 12 convictions. Lee must serve 10 years of his sentence, while the remaining two years and eight months can be commuted to a fine of NT$970,000 (US$32,852). The ruling is final.

Lee had a YouTube channel and had a few female admirers, investigators said.    [FULL  STORY]
