Man sees wife, friend in porn DVD, stabs him
Infidelity always comes with a price it seems. A Taiwanese carpenter bought a porn DVD only to find secretly taped motel footage of his wife having sex with his friend. The husband later stabbed the friend, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.
A Taiwanese carpenter bought a porn DVD only to find secretly taped motel footage of his wife having sex with his friend, whom the husband later stabbed, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The husband, identified only by his surname Lee, discovered the illicit sex on the DVD in 2002. The sexual acts apparently had been recorded using a hidden camera and were on a pornographic DVD, titled "Affairs with Others' Wives", which the husband bought from a vendor to watch at home.
Lee, who lives in Taoyuan County near Taipei, divorced his wife after viewing the DVD. His friend, a butcher, disappeared from their village.
In August 2008, Lee spotted the butcher in Chungli City, returned with a knife and stabbed his former friend in the thigh.
The butcher sued Lee for causing bodily harm. Lee was unable to countersue the butcher for adultery, because of a five-year statute of limitations.
Prosecutors urged the men to settle the case out of court, but they refused.
With the failure to resolve the case, Lee was indicted Tuesday on a charge of causing bodily harm to another person, the Liberty Times reported. Prosecutors were seeking a sentence of less than six months in prison, which can be converted into a fine.
