Two Taiwanese police officers are under investigation after a teenager was assaulted by a man she had accused of blackmail, while taking part in a police sting operation to catch him.
The incident took place in November 2020, when the then 13-year-old told police in the northern Taiwan city of Taoyuan that she had been threatened by a man on a dating app, who tried to coerce her into sex by threatening to publish explicit photos of her online.
The man, surnamed Chang, was sentenced to eight years jail for sexual assault earlier this month.
......
after the girl brought her complaint of Chang’s attempted blackmail to police, officers asked her to assist an undercover operation by pretending to agree to meet with him for sex.
Local media reported the two officers then shadowed the child to a McDonald’s where she met with Chang, but lost her after she got into the car and was driven a few hundred metres away, and they were unable to chase on foot. Chang forced the girl to perform oral sex, before driving back to McDonald’s where he was detained by police.
