A Singaporean woman, Cassandra Low, has been found guilty of stalking and harassing Taiwanese singer, Olivia Tsao, 38. 

According to reports, Cassandra, who is in her 30s, is a longtime fan of Olivia. The two had exchanged messages on Instagram, Facebook, as well as e-mail since November 2023. 

However, things turned sour after Olivia blocked Cassandra on social media. An angry Cassandra started posting threats and insults targeted at Olivia, her family, and her manager. She even threatened to hurt Olivia's parents and said she would "slowly torture the manager to death". 

Cassandra's threats were so bad, Olivia and her manager had to move out of their homes in New Taipei City.

On February 14, Cassandra followed Olivia to the Banqiao high-speed rail station and intercepted her at the ticket gate, blocking her from entering. Cassandra held onto Olivia's luggage and refused to let her pass as she demanded that Olivia unblock her on social media. 

The incident was filmed by Olivia, and Cassandra was later taken away by local police for questioning.

When interviewed by Shin Min Daily News, Olivia's manager revealed that Cassandra and Olivia had spoken in person during one of the singer's concerts. The manager suspects that was how Cassandra managed to get information about where Olivia lived, and had intentionally showed up at the train station, knowing she would be there. 

The manager also suspects Cassandra had created multiple Instagram accounts, all of which have been blocked, in order to stalk Olivia. 

Olivia eventually reported Cassandra's behaviour to the police.

Cassandra was charged on June 5. 

Cassandra was sentenced to six months in prison, or a commuted fine of NT$1,000 (S$43) for each day of her jail term. She will be deported from Taiwan after finishing her sentence and paying up her fine. 

Olivia took to Instagram on June 11 to post a photo of the judgement document, along with a statement addressing the case. 

She also posted an IG story expressing her relief. She wrote: "This is the most comforting news I've heard in recent times. Thanks everyone for your concern. I would also like to thank my friends who have supported me through this, and my lawyer for their patience and help."
