[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Two men in their 20s who forcibly made a female junior drink alcohol through a so-called 'Wang Game' and then sexually harassed and raped her were sentenced to probation.


On the 4th, the Jeonju District Court Criminal Division 2 (Chief Judge Park Jeong-dae) announced that A (20) and B (20), who were indicted for violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (special rape), were sentenced to 2 years in prison with 4 years of probation.


The court also ordered them to complete a 40-hour sexual violence treatment program.


The court stated, "The crime committed by the defendants, who jointly raped a child/victim in a state unable to resist, is extremely serious and highly blameworthy. Considering the significant psychological shock suffered by the victim and her family, strict punishment is appropriate."


The court explained the sentencing reasons, saying, "However, considering that they were detained for a considerable period and had sufficient time to reflect, that the victim who reached an agreement does not wish for punishment, and that there is no prior criminal record before the crime."


A and others were indicted for forcibly making C (a teenager) drink alcohol on a bench in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do, last August, then touching specific parts of C's body when she was unable to control her body and sexually assaulting her.



It was investigated that they committed these crimes after forcibly making the victim drink alcohol through the 'Wang Game' to intoxicate her.
