Mr. A found a toothbrush he didn't use in the vacation home he only visited during holidays, leading him to suspect his wife of infidelity.
Using the camera and remote control function on his robot vacuum cleaner, Mr. A checked the situation inside the house.
The screen showed his wife spending intimate time with another man, and Mr. A recorded the scene as evidence of infidelity.
Mr. A filed a lawsuit for 2 million Taiwanese dollars (approximately 87 million won) in damages against his wife and her lover, presenting the video as evidence.
The civil court acknowledged the wife's infidelity and ordered her to pay Mr. A 500,000 Taiwanese dollars (approximately 21 million won).
The wife filed a complaint against Mr. A for filming her private moments without her consent.
The court found Mr. A guilty of "filming the sexual images of others without justifiable reason" and sentenced him to 5 months in prison and a fine of 150,000 Taiwanese dollars (approximately 6.25 million won).
