Taiwanese television host Mickey Huang is facing an allegation of raping a 17-year-old girl almost two decades ago, just days after he apologised for possessing pornographic videos of underage girls.
Huang, 52, was embroiled in Taiwan's #MeToo movement in June 2023, when he was accused of sexual harassment which took place more than 10 years ago by Taiwanese influencer Zofia and an unnamed female netizen.
The Taipei District Prosecutors Office announced on April 3 that he would not be prosecuted due to a lack of objective evidence and that he has also reached a settlement with the two alleged victims.
On April 7, Zofia wrote on Facebook that another victim, identified only as Ms K, had approached her in June 2023.
According to Ms K's post, which was shared by Zofia, Ms K took part in Huang's show during her freshman year and he kept in touch with her via messaging for about a year.
