[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A district office public official in Daejeon was sentenced to prison for coercing a middle school girl into filming sexually exploitative obscene material.

On the 11th, the Criminal Division 12 of the Daejeon District Court (Presiding Judge Lee Chang-kyung) sentenced A (23), who was indicted for violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, to six years in prison, 80 hours of sexual violence treatment program, and a 10-year employment restriction at child and youth-related institutions and welfare facilities for the disabled.

A was tried on charges of having a 12-year-old middle school student, whom he met through a chatting application, take and send him nude photos and videos on three occasions from July to October last year.

He is also accused of threatening the victim by saying he would distribute the videos and obtaining the victim’s home password.

At the time of the incident, A was serving in the military and later worked as a district office public official in Daejeon before being suspended from his position.

The court stated, "He constantly mocked the victim by exploiting the fact that he knew her personal information such as her name and school. The crime is serious as he used the victim as a means to satisfy his distorted sexual desires, including making her call herself his slave."
