[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Ju Cheol-in] The Daegu District Court Criminal Division 11 (Chief Judge Kim Sang-yoon) announced on the 12th that it sentenced A (59), who was indicted for threatening his ex-girlfriend who reported his violent behavior, to 8 months in prison with a 2-year probation.
A was tried for calling his ex-girlfriend B (54) last July and frightening her with words that implied physical harm.
It was investigated that he committed the crime after breaking the glass window of B's office a few days earlier and feeling resentment because B reported it.
He was also charged with repeatedly sending text messages such as "I will send gangsters," "I will kill you," and "I will retaliate" after breaking up with B.
