Statement by the JRF Regarding Another Case Involving Our Client Chen Ching-kai

In response to inquiries from news media on April 3, 2026, regarding a separate case in which Chen Ching-kai (also known as Chen Yu-hsien) was convicted by a court of first instance for taking advantage of an opportunity to commit sexual assault, the JRF hereby provides the following statement:

1. Chen Ching-kai is a client currently being assisted by the JRF's pro bono legal team. Regarding the assistance provided for his "fraudulent blindness case," the JRF has evaluated and pursued relief actions in accordance with relevant legal systems and based on professional medical assessment opinions.

2. Regarding the aforementioned separate case in which our client is alleged to have taken advantage of an opportunity to commit sexual assault, this case is distinct from and occurred after the fraudulent blindness case handled by the JRF. As the JRF has never participated in the proceedings of that case, we are in no position to understand or comment on the specific facts, trial process, or other details of the case.

3. The JRF maintains a strict and zero-tolerance stance toward criminal acts that infringe upon the rights of others, and condemns all sexual offenses that exploit power or violate individual autonomy.
