[Asia Economy Kim Bong-ju, Intern Reporter] A man in his 20s was sentenced to prison for sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend by threatening her with a sex video and filming the act again.

According to the Jeonju District Court on the 3rd, the Namwon Branch 1st Criminal Division (Chief Judge Kwak Kyung-pyeong) sentenced Mr. A to five years in prison on charges including filming using a camera under the Sexual Violence Punishment Act, rape, and assault.

He was also ordered to complete a 40-hour sexual violence treatment program and was banned from working in child, youth, and disabled welfare facilities for 10 years.

Mr. A was indicted for forcibly filming sexual intercourse scenes with his girlfriend Ms. B at a motel in August 2018 and December 2019, then threatening Ms. B with the video to sexually assault her again and assault her multiple times.

Furthermore, in January of this year, Mr. A threatened Ms. B by saying he would distribute the sex video and sexually assaulted her, and in February, he raped Ms. B at a motel in Sunchang and filmed the scene again, according to the investigation.

Ms. B had dated Mr. A for about two months in 2018 before breaking up, but after the breakup, she was subjected to assault and threats and was forced into sexual relations, the investigation revealed.

The court stated, "The defendant used the victim, who was once his lover, as a tool to satisfy his sexual desires, which is a very serious offense. Considering the victim suffered severe mental and physical harm, the victim's demand for strict punishment, and the defendant's failure to provide any compensation, a harsh sentence is inevitable," explaining the sentencing rationale.
