Intimacy is somehow an indispensable part of any romantic relationship. Touching your GF isn’t usually considered something punishable. However, it’s not that normal when your date is a rental.

Story of a Taiwanese student

A college student from Taiwan recently made headlines for the wrong reasons. In July 2019, the boy who is identified as Chen had hired a girlfriend for three hours. He had to pay 7200 Taiwanese dollars (approximately $260) for using the service from an agency called Love Acting-Extra.

Blind Date — Chen rented a girlfriend from an agency.

The service contains several specific rules including dos and don’ts where the clients are allowed to do with their rented girlfriends and what is forbidden also.

On 2 August 2019, Chen and the rented girlfriend arranged the first meeting at Taipei Main Station for a scheduled 3-hour date. Like any other couple, they opted for a fast-food restaurant, then took a stroll around Da’an Forest Park.

However, things didn’t go smoothly as planned as Chen started talking weirdly. He even said to the girl that he will k.i.d.n.a.p her and made some inappropriate remarks.

Holding Hands — The client is allowed to hold hands.

According to the testimony from the girl, Chen tried to touch her inner thighs, even unbuttoned the shirt she was wearing as he wanted to see her chest. The man also touched her backside despite all such things weren’t allowed to do with his rented girlfriend.

The “vict.i.m” was way too scared that her client was about to harm her. Unfortunately, she had no one around to help.

Rented Girlfriend — What he did was considered inappropriate and broke the contract.

Fortunately, things didn’t go too far as when 3 hours were up, the student boy didn’t want to break the contract and finally let her go.

The punishment

When the date ended, the girl immediately went to the nearest police station to report the case. No prize for guessing, Chen was a.r.r.e.s.t.e.d constantly. He also confessed the guilt that he made, even wrote an apology letter to the girl. However, no matter what he did, they couldn’t save him from jail time.
