[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seong-yeol] The prosecution has demanded a 12-year prison sentence for a man in his 50s, who, wearing an electronic ankle bracelet due to a prior sex crime conviction, attempted to sexually assault an 8-year-old girl and her mother.

On the 7th, according to the Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office, during the sentencing hearing at the 11th Criminal Division of the Gwangju District Court (Chief Judge Song Gak-yeop), the prosecutor requested a 12-year prison term for A (51), who is charged with violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, trespassing, and attempted rape.

Earlier, A was indicted for breaking into a house in Nam-gu, Gwangju, around 10 p.m. on July 10 last year, attempting to sexually assault a woman in her 50s, B, and violently assaulting her indiscriminately, including strangling her, when she fiercely resisted.

A, who lived as a neighbor in the house where B resided, was reportedly aware that B and her daughter lived alone.

He is also charged with attempting to sexually assault B's 8-year-old daughter, C, but the attempt was unsuccessful.

According to police investigations, A has multiple prior sex crime convictions, including a 5-year prison sentence in 2010, and has been ordered to wear an electronic ankle bracelet until 2026.

The sentencing for A is scheduled to take place on the morning of the 10th at the Gwangju District Court.
