High-ranking physician found groping employee at own practice
2026-04-01
A high-ranking physician in Miaoli accused of sexually assaulting an employee has been released on a NT$300,000 bail and put under electronic monitoring. On Lunar New Year’s Eve, Dr. Chiu, who is the deputy superintendent of a local hospital and owner of a clinic, approached one of his employees with a red envelope. The employee thought it was a New Year’s bonus. But Chiu proceeded to corner her and attempted to grope her. Footage of the incident had since widely circulated online. Later, Chiu’s boss, the hospital’s superintendent, texted hospital staff members, urging them to protect the hospital’s reputation by keeping things hush-hush.
Dr. Chiu, deputy superintendent of a hospital in Toufen and owner of a separate group practice, was accused of sexually harassing an employee on Lunar New Year’s Eve. In the security footage, Chiu is seen touching her on the shoulder and lower back, attempting to lock her in. The victim frantically steps back, but eventually gets cornered. As she moves to the front door, Chiu follows her still and attempts to grope her. The leaked footage quickly circulated online and sparked outrage. The Miaoli District Prosecutors Office has since stepped in and demanded that Chiu be held incommunicado.

Miaoli District Prosecutors Office
The defendant, surnamed Chiu is suspected of committing the crime of forcible indecency under Article 224 of the Criminal Code. There is reasonable suspicion of the crime. In addition to the fact that there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the defendant repeatedly committed the same crime, there is also sufficient evidence to suggest that he colluded with witnesses in an attempt to destroy evidence. Therefore, there is a need for detention, and we hereby apply to the court for detention and prohibition of visits.
Prosecutors applied to have Chiu detained and held incommunicado. The court ruled that he could be released on a NT$300,000 bail, but he needed to be put under electronic monitoring. In recent high-profile cases of sexual offenses by celebrities, such as actor Chris Wang and TV personality Mickey Huang, both men were not electronically monitored after being released on bail. Why is it different in this case?

The defendant has a certain social standing and status, as well as influence. There is a certain perimeter set up in our method of electronic monitoring. It’s mainly to prevent repeat offenses.
And Chiu is indeed a person of power and status, as the deputy superintendent of a hospital. It’s been revealed via screenshots of a group chat that the superintendent had ordered staff members to help protect the hospital’s reputation. Amid the solid evidence in the security footage, concerns of repeat offenses and the potential harassment of witnesses, the judge ultimately ruled that he be put under electronic monitoring.

頭份狼醫涉性騷女下屬 裁定30萬交保.戴電子手環
2026-04-01
苗栗頭份某醫院邱姓副院長，今年除夕涉嫌在他經營的診所，對女員工性騷擾，檢方昨（31日）天向法院聲請羈押禁見，法院今（1日）天凌晨裁定，邱姓副院長30萬元交保，實施科技監控。法界分析，可能是因為被告位高權重，怕他交保後再去騷擾被害人，法院才會罕見裁定必須要戴電子手環監控行蹤！
頭份某醫院邱姓副院長，今年除夕在他經營的診所，假借發紅包，伸狼爪騷擾女員工，不但拍肩、摟腰還強行摟抱，從畫面中可以清楚看到，受害人頻頻阻擋，對方還是從櫃檯一路糾纏到門口。畫面在網路流傳，引發輿論撻伐，苗栗地檢署檢察官出手偵辦，認定被告有羈押禁見必要。

“邱姓被告涉犯刑法，第224條強制猥褻罪嫌，犯罪嫌疑重大，除有事實足認有反覆實施同一犯罪之虞外，亦有事實足認有勾串證人，湮滅證據之虞，而有羈押必要，爰向法院聲請羈押禁見。”
檢察官向法院聲請羈押禁見，法官裁定，邱姓被告以30萬元交保，雖然獲得人身自由，不過，必須要實施科技監控。過去司法案例上，藝人宥勝和黃子佼都曾涉犯強制猥褻，交保後都沒有戴電子手環，為什麼頭份這位交保醫師，法官要加碼裁定接受電子監控呢？
[[聲源:苗栗地方法院發言人 林卉聆]]
“被告他本身具有，相當的一個身分地位，有一定的影響力，我們電子監控是有設定，所謂的圍籬，主要的目的是預防再犯。”
邱姓被告位高權重，位列副院長，他服務的醫院還被爆出，醫院院長疑似在群組下令要員工幫忙維護醫院名譽，加上監視器清楚拍下連續犯行，就怕被告有重複犯罪之虞，法官才會裁定被告，必須要戴電子手環，隨時監控他的行動軌跡，避免騷擾證人。
