> HSINCHU, Taiwan -- A drunkard father in a Hsinchu village has failed to
> get
> a wild boar as compensation, which he demanded after the rape of his
> fifth-grade daughter.
>
> Police in the village in Hsinchu county arrested a 60-year-old hobo
> Tuesday
> on charges of raping a minor, whose identity was withheld.
>
> Investigators identified the hobo only as Lin, who had sex with the fifth
> grader three times, promising to pay her NT$1,500.
>
> Only NT$500 was paid, investigators said.
>
> Dissatisfied, the girl told her father of the sexual molestation early
> last
> week.

>
> The father, not identified, had Lin beaten up and demanded that a wild
> boar
> be given as compensation. It's customary among an indigenous people in
> Taiwan to demand a boar or water buffalo to settle a serious dispute.
>
> Lin couldn't pay hunters to kill the wild animal, however.
>
> His daughter, on the other hand, told her schoolmaster of Lin's continued
> molestation. The schoolmaster reported the case to police as well as
> Hsinchu social workers.
>
> Social workers took the fifth grader under their custody.
>
> "Then," a police sergeant said yesterday, "the father filed complaints
> with
> us against the schoolmaster." "He said he would sue the schoolmaster for
> breaking up his family," the sergeant added.

> The schoolmaster said he was sorry to have the girl taken under social
> workers' custody. "But," he added, "that's the only right thing I could
> do."
