On the 11th, Song Seok-bong, a senior judge at the Daejeon High Court, reversed the lower court, which sentenced A 67 to two years in prison and three years of probation and four years of probation in the case of forced harassment in violation of the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth
It also ordered 40 hours of sexual violence treatment lectures and restrictions on employment at institutions related to children, adolescents, and the disabled for five years
In September 2021, A was accused of molesting 19 high school girls by touching or stroking their thighs, legs, and knees during oral examinations of students at a high school auditorium in Daejeon
During the trial, A denied the charges, saying, “I have no memory of unnecessary physical contact.” However, Mr. A belatedly agreed with 14 of the 19 victims and filed a criminal deposit for the remaining five and appealed for leniency
Earlier, the first trial court sentenced him to two years in prison, suspended for three years, saying, “The crime is not good considering the number of crimes and the sexual shame felt by the students.”
The prosecution and A appealed against the first trial ruling, respectively, but the second trial court only accepted the purpose of the prosecution’s appeal and raised the sentence somewhat However, considering various circumstances, the execution of the sentence was decided to be suspended
The appellate court pointed out, “Considering that he/she did not reflect on himself/herself, such as saying that he/she was unfortunately involved in the investigation process or threatening the investigator, the sentence of the lower court seems to be somewhat light.”
In the meantime, the appellate court explained, “We will add to the prison sentence, but suspend the execution of the sentence in consideration of the normal in favor of the defendant.”
