Prosecutors found seven sex videos of underage girls on Huang’s hard disk during an investigation.

HUALIEN: Residents wearing hard hats and carrying large backpacks stood outside a building Friday with a crumbling facade in Hualien , the epicentre of Taiwan 's biggest earthquake in 25 years, waiting to be allowed in to collect their belongings.

It marks a magnitude-7.4 tremor that was felt across the island. In epicentre Hualien, it left buildings tilted, tunnels crushed, and landslides tumbling down the mostly mountainous region. A tilting building in Hualien's main city has emerged as the most recognisable symbol from the disaster -- leaning at a perilous 45-degree angle as construction workers hurried to demolish it.

Residents were allowed to enter for 15-18 minutes to retrieve their things, carrying torches to navigate around the debris. When the quake hit on Wednesday morning, Chen said"I was only thinking about protecting my baby at the time". Wang Zhi-yu, 50, said she was very thankful that the borough chief allowed them to go inside to get their things."When we first saw it, we just saw the outside -- we had no idea what the inside looked like," she said, tearing up as she spoke.
