[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Jo] A former prosecutor who was accused of sexually harassing a female investigator he worked with at a company dinner was sentenced to a suspended prison term in the first trial.

Judge Seongwan Jeong of the Criminal Division 14 at the Seoul Central District Court sentenced Mr. A, who was tried on charges of forced molestation, to 8 months in prison with a 2-year suspension and ordered him to complete 40 hours of a sexual violence treatment program.
