[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] On the 25th, Kim Min-sang, Chief Judge of Criminal Division 1 at Changwon District Court in Gyeongnam, announced that he sentenced A (33) to six months in prison for abandoning his 2-year-old biological daughter in a motel for 15 hours.


On December 12, 2018, A stayed at a motel in Seo-gu, Gwangju with his biological daughter B (2) but left the motel without her.


B, who was left unattended, was found by the motel owner only on the 13th, 15 hours after being left alone.


Chief Judge Kim stated, "Since A's whereabouts are unknown, the judgment was made by public notice delivery, and the sentence was determined considering the degree of abandonment."



Public notice delivery is a system where, if the defendant does not receive documents and refuses to appear in court, the content is published in the official gazette and is considered to have been delivered.
