In this study, the legal risks and social pressures associated with media coverage of sexual violence survivors were investigated in the context of Taiwan’s #MeToo movement. The need to maintain objectivity by separating fact from opinion is heavily emphasized in traditional journalism. Reporting on sexual violence, however, is inevitably shaped by emotional responses and empathy. In particular, when survivors courageously speak out and face legal retaliation from the accused individuals, journalists reporting on these events may also become targets of litigation. Three case studies were analyzed in this study: singer Wang Jinghan’s accusation of sexual assault against Zhu Ruixiang, the head of the Eastern Arts Troupe; actress Da Ya’s sexual harassment allegation against Blackie Chen Jianzhou; and actress Mia’s accusation of opportunistic sexual intercourse against actor Huang Jianwei. Through an examination of the interactions between public opinion, media, and the judicial system, this study highlights the legal challenges faced by survivors. |
