Two Female Club Members Sexually Assaulted: Prestigious University Student Sentenced to 3 Years in Prison

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] A prestigious university student who sexually assaulted two female members of a university alliance club, where he served as the representative, has been sentenced to prison.

The Seoul Eastern District Court Criminal Division 12 (Presiding Judge Min Cheol-gi) sentenced Jang, a man in his 20s and a university student who was detained and indicted on charges of rape and quasi-rape, to three years in prison on the 20th. Additionally, he was ordered to complete 40 hours of sexual violence treatment lectures and was banned from employment at child and youth institutions and welfare facilities for the disabled for five years.

Jang is accused of raping club member A at his home in Seoul last December and attempting to rape and assault another member, B.

Jang, the representative of the university alliance club, is reported to have brought the two members to his home after finishing the new member interviews and after-party attended by students from various universities the day before the crime. Victim B fell asleep first, and A drank more with Jang before falling asleep.

The next morning, Jang raped A while she was sleeping, and when B resisted, he assaulted her by strangling her neck and attempted to rape her. B bit Jang’s finger, causing injury, then escaped and reported the incident to the police.

The court ruled, "Jang’s crime is extremely serious as he raped victim A while she was intoxicated and unconscious, and inflicted injury on victim B while attempting to rape her."

However, the court explained that the sentence was determined considering that Jang had reached an agreement with the victim he attempted to rape.

Meanwhile, the club to which the victims belonged was an organization created by Jang, mainly engaged in planning public lecture programs and producing videos.
