A jealous Taiwanese woman who beat and imprisoned a migrant worker from Indonesia has been found guilty and offered the option of an 11-month jail term or a fine.
The 41-year-old woman from Taichung in central Taiwan, the mistress to the Indonesian maid’s married employer and who has a son to the man, learned he was also having an affair with the Indonesian domestic worker, The Liberty Times reported.
After discovering the Indonesian woman was pregnant to her employer, the jealous Taiwanese woman sought revenge with six of her friends. In May 2016, the woman and six men abducted the Indonesian maid, put a bag over her head and took her to a quiet corner in Taichung Metropolitan Park.
There they beat her, burned her arms with cigarettes and threatened to take the pregnant woman for an abortion. The maid was then taken to a motel in Xitun district where she was detained for the night.
The following day she was taken to Beitun police station and was found to have overstayed her visa, but told police about the physical abuses and the imprisonment she had suffered.
All those involved were charged and found guilty by Taichung District Court of violating the maid’s liberty and the woman who masterminded the plot was sentenced to 11 months in jail, while the others received sentences of between four and 10 months. All were allowed to be fined as an alternative punishment.
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"; probably from the bible.
Heaven has no rage, like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury, like a woman scorned.
Too small of a punishment…sick.
That’s ok.. They can just pray for the gods to forgive them n walk scott free. 98% of the population is deeply religiously retarded. It’s a serious front for criminal activity. Most people in Taiwan are heavily medicated with prescription drugs due to Acrylamide poisoning, which they swear is INFLUENZA and has nothing to do with their religious garbage burning. Deeply brainwashed and religiously backwards. They destroy lives, health, wealth AND happiness of so many children and innocent people with their filthy religious trash burning. Epidemic proportions….
Don Mac, my allergies are getting worse with every festival. I wish they’d do like the Singaporeans and use sound recordings rather than the actual firecrackers. We went for a walk around Lantan Lake last weekend…the air was thickly layered yellow. Quite nasty.
11 month for such a crime
Ohh god,,
Fines only!!! Are you kidding me?!? That woman should have gone to jail! No getting off with money. Sickening! What’s wrong with Taiwan these days! Absolutely disgusting!!!
Jennifer Carron then leave….. Pretty sure no one is forcing you to stay!
Mike Jensen seriously? Is that what you took from my bit? You think I hate Taiwan and am forever ranting negatively about this place? Chill man. Every and anyone will have at least one thing they wish could be better about where they live. You’ve NEVER one said you wish something in Taiwan could be improved? How about your own home country? Relax man. Was simply stating something that could be done to help this beautiful country. Seriously, you need to chill.
