A man who allegedly sexually assaulted his cousin’s 먹튀검증sister was sentenced to 10 years in prison by a court for the first time in more than a decade.
According to legal circles on the 8th, the prosecution requested 10 years in prison for A, a man in his 20s, at a hearing held by the Cheonan District Court’s First Criminal Division (Presiding Judge Jeon Jeon-ho) to decide the case against him for violating the Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Offenses, etc.

Mr. A went on trial for forcibly molesting and sexually assaulting his cousin, Ms. B, on nine occasions at her grandmother’s house over a period of about eight months from December 2010.
When Ms. B resisted, Mr. A told her to “keep quiet” or threatened her not to tell anyone about the crimes, and she reportedly recorded the incidents in a diary.
It was only when Ms. B became an adult and reported the incident to the police that Mr. A’s crimes came to light.
Mr. A denied the allegations during the police investigation, but admitted his guilt in court, saying, “I made a really big mistake. I am sincerely sorry,” and admitted to the crime.

“The defendant was 14 years old at the time and had just left the age of majority, so he committed the crime accidentally when he was alone with the victim,” said the defense, adding, “He denied the crime because he was afraid of punishment, but he is now sincerely regretting his mistake.”
However, the prosecution requested that the court sentence A to 10 years in prison, saying that the victim had suffered for a long time. The prosecution also requested a public information notice and a 10-year ban on working in organizations for children, youth, and people with disabilities.
The sentencing hearing for Mr. A is scheduled to be held on the 10th of next month.
