Bummer for Chocolate

Former ICRT disc jockey Charles Mack (¥©§J¤O) has been given seven days to leave Taiwan after police said he had sex whilst knowingly carrying a sexual disease

...after being accused by his wife Chang Wei-chin (±iÞ³¬z) on Jan. 16 of raping two male college students while being infected with syphilis...

I've known Charlie (aka: Chocolate) since he came to Taiwan. Apart from being unusually happy most of the time, he seemed like a pretty nice guy. Why he would get married to a Taiwanese woman when his inclinations leaned another way beats me. She apparently is super loaded, and it is good to have some local $$ guanxi to back you up, so maybe that's a possible MO, especially being a foreigner, and a black foreigner at that. That's like a double negative in racist Taiwan. And being a gay black foreigner is like a super double bonus negative.

Normally police would not be involved in some stuff like this unless someone leaned a heavy shoulder against them to do it (ie: one pissed off wife). So his wife has accused him of having sex, but is there any proof of mischievious poking around? Are the college aged rape victims accusing Charlie? I guess the existential question here is: "If someone is poking around in the forest, and here is no one there to see him poking around, was there really any poking happening?"

So, it sounds like Charlie got screwed. Figuratively and literally. Bummer. I guess the moral of the story is: Don't piss your rich and influential Taiwanese wife off by sleeping with younger gay men.
