[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seong-yeol] A man in his 50s who made sexually harassing remarks to an acquaintance's group and then assaulted the protesting acquaintance was sentenced to prison.

The Incheon District Court Criminal Division 1 (Judge Park Hee-geun) announced on the 20th that A (54), who was indicted on charges of injury, was sentenced to 6 months in prison with a 2-year probation.

The court also ordered A to perform 80 hours of community service.

The court stated, "Considering the circumstances of the defendant's crime and the extent of the injury, the culpability is not light," and added, "The defendant has not been forgiven by the victim."

It further explained the sentencing reason, saying, "We took into account the fact that the defendant admitted the crime and reflected on his wrongdoing."

Earlier, A was indicted for assaulting B (60, female), an acquaintance, on the street in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, at around 10:10 a.m. on October 20 last year, causing a broken nose bone.
