A Taiwan court reportedly sentenced a man to three months in prison for “invading” his wife’s privacy by installing hidden cameras around their home to prove she was cheating.

It’s understood that Mr Fan decided to install the surveillance in his home after suspecting his wife’s infidelity following the birth of their two children in 2022 after several years of marriage.

According to reports, the cameras were positioned under the piano in the living room of the family home and next to the computer in the master bedroom.

His fears were later confirmed as footage revealed his wife being intimate with a mystery man in their family home, evidence which was later used as grounds for a divorce.

Mr Fan filed a civil lawsuit against his spouse for civil damages after failing to reach an amicable settlement. He was, however, left shocked after becoming the subject of a suspected crime as his wife reported him to the police for the camera installations without her knowledge or consent.

She later filed and won a countersuit against him in the Taoyuan Court where he was slapped with a three-month term behind bars for secretly recording other people’s private activities without their consent.
