[Asia Economy Min Jun-young, Intern Reporter] A man in his 30s who habitually exposed his private parts and engaged in obscene acts in public places was sentenced to probation.

The Cheongju District Court Criminal Division 4 (Judge Kim Ryong) announced on the 14th that A (37), who was tried on charges of public indecency, was sentenced to 6 months in prison with 2 years of probation.

The court ordered A to undergo probation, attend 40 hours of sexual violence treatment lectures, and imposed a 3-year employment restriction at institutions related to children, adolescents, and persons with disabilities.

The court stated, "The defendant committed the crimes repeatedly within a short period," and "Considering the circumstances, methods, and locations of the crimes, the nature of the offense is serious."

Furthermore, the court explained the sentencing reason, saying, "The sentence was determined considering the defendant's prior record of being granted a suspended indictment in 2015 for obscenity using communication media."

A was previously brought to trial on charges of exposing his private parts and approaching women on a street in Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju-si, Chungbuk Province, around 7 p.m. on July 5 of last year, and committed obscene acts in front of unspecified multiple people three times until August 16 of the same year.
