[Asia Economy Kim Bong-ju, Intern Reporter] A man in his 30s was sentenced to a heavy prison term for sexually assaulting and threatening his girlfriend by forcing her into prostitution at his home.

On the 15th, the Jeju District Court's 2nd Criminal Division (Chief Judge Jang Chan-su) sentenced A (33) to 16 years in prison for violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, assault, and threats. He was also ordered to be restricted from employment at child and youth-related institutions for 10 years and to wear an electronic monitoring device (electronic anklet) for 15 years.

On March 26, at his apartment in Geonip-dong, Jeju City, A threatened his girlfriend B to force her into prostitution.

He also filmed parts of B's body and threatened her by saying, "If you ask for help from others or try to escape, I will distribute the video."

On the following day, the 27th, he is accused of assaulting B with a hammer and raping her.

On April 10, when B said she wanted to break up, A threatened her by sending videos containing images of her body parts, saying, "I will kill you and your entire family."

A had previously been punished multiple times for sexual crimes including rape and was wearing an electronic anklet.

The court stated the reason for sentencing, "The nature of the crime is very serious, and the victim is pleading for severe punishment."
