It's happened, ELEVEN years ago, and yet, the events are still, very lucid in this, survivor's, (not VICTIM) mind…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The Five Witnesses Called to Testify by the D.A.'s Office Claimed They'd All Heard of the Incidents for Many Years, the D.A. Believed the Accusations to be True, and the Posting is Related to the Not-for-Profit Activities #MeToo
The former famed T.V. personnel, "Big Teeth", Chou accused Blackie Chen for sexual harassment eleven years ago, Chen sued Chou filed a civil suit against her, then, withdrew it, instead, he'd pursued her in the criminal of severe libel; the D.A.'s Office of Taipei called Chou, her former agent, her agent now, the makeup artist, her best friend, a total of five, all claimed they'd heard her talking about the events from many years ago, the district attorney believed that Chou was telling the truth, and not just making things up, and the posting she'd made has to do with the #MeToo movement that's now trending online, dropped the indictment against her yesterday.
Chou responded yesterday to the press, thanking the justice systems, that she kept on holding firm to the beliefs of justice will one day be served, thanked all who'd cared about her, her families, her friends. "I still believe, doing the right things, no need to hesitate, I hope, that my case will bring those who are stuck in the MeToo situations, bringing the light they needed."
In June, Chou posted on her personal FB page, disclosed that back in 2012, when she went to Hong Kong with Blackie Chen and the filming crew to do a show, in the hotel room, she was bear hugged against her will by Blackie Chen, and he'd molested her, described, "That evening from eleven years ago, had become this constant nightmare every now and then."
The district attorneys, in order to confirm what Chou stated was truthful, called her former agent, Tseng, her current agent, as well as Blackie Chen's former agent, Huang, her best friend, Huang, best friend from the T.V. industries, Bei, along with the makeup artist, Rao who'd gone to Hong Kong to work with her to testify.
All five stated, that from eight, nine years ago, they'd heard her talked about the events more than once; Huang stated she'd begun working with Chen back in 2017, and she'd refused to be in the same show as Blackie Chen, and as she'd talked about the sexual harassment back when, she'd started, going limp in the legs, started, trembling and shaking like crazy, she was angry, and couldn't talk anymore, afterwards, as she was hugging another male performer, she'd melted down, and told, that Blackie Chen's suing her was "fitting to his personality of nobody defies the king".
The bestie, Huang told, that before Chen posted the statements, she'd felt ashamed, felt that nobody would back her up, it'd made her heart ached; she felt furious over how Blackie sued her for defamation.
Bei told, that on her wedding, as she'd assigned the guests in the seating, Chen asked her to "place me as far away from Blackie as you possibly can, I don't want to see or bump into him!" That she'd felt pressured, testifying, but felt awful of how Chen lost the work opportunities for bravely posting out what had happened to her, that she is barely making her ends meet, Bei felt angered for Chen's sake.
Rao testified what she encountered and witnessed eleven years ago, claimed she was bringing the face mask to Chen, and, as the hotel room door opened, she saw her with fear in her face, asked her to come in to sit with her. As they were discussing Blackie Chen's sexual harassment toward her, Blackie called Chen up, wanted her to come to his room to watch a DVD.
The district attorneys went by the testimonies of the witnesses, plus how Chen flew to Hong Kong in person to press charges, believed that she'd not made something out of nothing, that she'd not intentionally accused him of something he didn't do, that it was truthful, not libel nor slander, that these women who were testifying never had any huge grudges against Chen, to go after him, and they are T.V. actors, that Chen's posting wasn't for the sake of her own personal gains, that it was to help bring more awareness of the #MeToo incidents that might happen to anyone, dropped the libel claims against her.
Of course the charges of libel and slanders are dropped, this woman HAD the proofs of being sexually harassed by this man, and, the traumas of this woman's experiences still isn't quite over, she will, keep on, fearing getting molested, until she can, finally, work through all the feelings that's still in need of processing by her body, her mind completely, then she will, finally, heal up, completely, but this is the first step in the right direction she took, toward healing her own self, back up, from getting, sexually molested by someone who's, a famous T.V. personnel.
