The Supreme Court has upheld a six-year minimum prison sentence handed to 26-year-old Lin He-chun (???) for soliciting nude photos from girls as young as 8 years old between May 2014 and July 2017.
An additional 18-month sentence — commutable to fines — for nine other offenses, including sharing nude photos of underage girls with other child pornographers and committing sexual indecency with underage girls, was also upheld.
Lin has been imprisoned since April 19 after he was given a combined 104-year-and-two-month prison sentence on March 10 by the Taiwan High Court for violating the Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act.
According to the court’s judgment, Lin must serve a minimum of six years of the 104-year sentence for his crimes.
The case came to light after a 15-year-old girl accused Lin in 2017 of soliciting nude photos from her. Lin confessed to all of the charges against him during a trial at Taipei District Court in 2017.
The Supreme Court’s judgment is final and cannot be appealed.
