JUSTIFIED: A Tainan official said restrictions on naming a victim of sexual assault in the media did not apply, as such disclosures are allowed in the name of social justiceBy Jason Pan / Staff reporterTainan prosecutors and police yesterday said they have begun investigations into accusations against a prominent cram school teacher surnamed Chen （陳）, who allegedly sexually abused a female student years ago, as the scandal’s pall over the nation’s public and private educational systems continues to grow.The Tainan Prosecutors’ Office confirmed that a judicial investigation is now under way, headed by prosecutors of the Women and Children Protection Section, while the Tainan Police Department has formed a special task force to seek out persons of interest for information regarding the case.Tainan移動式冷氣 推薦 Police Chief Huang Chung-jen （黃宗仁） said that as public officials have made accusatory statements against Chen, a criminal investigation has been launched, adding that authorities would interview the victim’s parents, who live in Tainan, and others connected with the case.Chen, who teaches Chinese, has been at the center of a media furor after allegations were made that he abused his position as an educator to sexually assault a then-student surnamed Lin （林）, a writer who committed suicide last week.Lin, 26, had recently published a novel, which her parents said she wrote based on her traumatizing experience as a teenage victim of sexual abuse by a cram school teacher, which led to depression and eventually her suicide.The death of the promising young writer, who had an outstanding academic record, sparked widespread public discussion on the dark side of the nation’s educational culture, particularly about alleged sexual abuse by male teachers in both public and private institutions who prey on female students.According to one media outlet, the cram school’s owner on Friday last week asked Chen about the allegations against him and quoted him as saying: “She [Lin] is already dead. Anything I say about [the matter] is not going to help.”“We want to terminate his contract, and he does not want to teach anymore,” the owner told reporters.On Friday last week, Lin’s parents issued a statement through her publisher alleging that she had been raped years ago by a cram school teacher and that the trauma had led to her death.As the statement contained Lin’s full name, it was met with a warning from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, which said that a victim’s name cannot be disclosed due to the Sexual Assault Crime Prevention Act （性侵害犯罪防治法）, which aims to protect the identity and privacy of sexual assault victims.The ministry’s warning triggered a wave of criticism.However, in a legislative session on Wednesday, Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung （陳時中） said no fine would be levied against Lin’s parents, as warnings were meant to protect victims.Later that day, Tainan Department of Information and Tourism Commissioner Chien Yu-yen （簡余晏） said that Lin’s name should be disclosed, because the issue allegedly behind her death is significant to social justice.Naming Lin in media reports is the right thing to do, Chien said, adding that her parents had already issued a statement alleging that she was a victim of sexual assault.Chien said that disclosure of Lin’s name does not violate Article 13 of the act, which stipulates that “publicity material, publications, broadcasts, television, Internet content or other kinds of media should not report or publish the name or any other personal identifiable information about the victim,” as it also says that such limitations do not apply if authorities consider the disclosure as necessary in relation to matters of social justice.Separately yesterday, the Control Yuan announced that it would commence a review of authorities’ oversight of educational institutions and whether mechanisms to file complaints and ask for help are in place.Additional Reporting by CNA新聞來源：TAIPEI TIMES電扇推薦b&q特力屋網路店
