Taiwan court orders molestor to copy scripture 108 times as punishment
Nanyang Siang Pau reported that a court in Hsinchu province in Taiwan had ordered a 28-year-old engineer to copy the Buddhist Heart Sutra scripture 108 times as penalty for molesting a girl.
The man, known only as Han, had earlier been sentenced to seven years in jail for fondling the 15-year-old girl's breasts and private parts.
The judged was quoted as saying that he also ordered the man to copy the scriptures following a request from the victim's mother, who hoped that this would make him repent.
