Control Yuan Censures Kaohsiung Health and Police Bureaus Over Sexual Assault Case

The Control Yuan censured the Kaohsiung City Health Bureau and Police Bureau today following a case where a former Health Bureau official illegally accessed personal data and sexually assaulted a minor. The Health Bureau was found to have significant flaws in managing high-privilege accounts, including account sharing, which exposed sensitive data. The Police Bureau was criticized for delays in starting the investigation and failing to adequately protect the victim. The Control Yuan has demanded that the Ministry of Health and Welfare improve the mental health care information system and strengthen legal education for public officials.
