New Taipei City man charged with coercing anotherBy Wang Ting-chuan and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writerA New Taipei City man has been indicted on a coercion charge after allegedly harassing another man at his residence in the city’s Sanchong District (三重) for eight consecutive months. The Sanchong man, surnamed Lin (林), said that the suspect, surnamed Kuo (郭), banged on his door at about 4am three to four times per week from June last year until January, the indictment said. The entrance to the New Taipei City District Prosecutors’ Office is pictured on Monday. Prosecutors quoted Lin as saying that he eventually could no long bear the disturbances and went to the police for help. The New Taipei City District Prosecutors’ Office found Kuo’s alleged actions to be “a disturbance of Lin’s rest, and a breach of his right to peace and quiet in his residence,” and proceeded with the indictment, prosecutors said.
