[Asia Economy Kim Bong-ju, Intern Reporter] A woman in her 20s who conspired with her boyfriend to sexually assault the daughter of her mother’s ex-lover, who was also a close older sister figure, has been sentenced to prison.

On the 20th, the Changwon District Court Criminal Division 4 (Chief Judge Lee Heon) sentenced A (27, female), who was tried for violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (rape and injury), to three years in prison and ordered her to complete 80 hours of a sexual violence treatment program.

Her boyfriend B (42), who was also tried on the same charges, was sentenced to six years in prison and ordered to complete 80 hours of the sexual violence treatment program, as well as a five-year employment restriction at child and youth-related institutions and welfare facilities for the disabled.

On November 22 of last year, A gave the victim a hangover relief drink laced with sleeping pills, saying, "It’s medicine to sober up. Sister, drink this," at a bar in Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province.

After moving with the victim to a nearby motel, A called B to sexually assault the victim once she lost consciousness.

They also illegally took photos of the victim with their mobile phones.

At the time, it was investigated that A proceeded with the crime together after B said, "I want to have sex with the victim together."

The victim is the daughter of A’s mother’s ex-lover.

A had been close to the victim while her mother was in a long-term romantic relationship with the ex-lover.

The court explained the sentencing by stating, "Although the victim’s father pleaded for leniency, A actively carried out the crime despite knowing it was a serious offense," and "She exploited the close relationship, like sisters, to cause the victim mental shock and a sense of betrayal."

Regarding B, the court said, "He sought forgiveness and expressed a wish that the victim did not want punishment," but added, "However, the crime committed out of distorted sexual desire was reckless and shocking."
