[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] A teacher in her 40s who used sexual language in profanity during class and falsely accused a fellow teacher of defamation has been sentenced to imprisonment.

On the 9th, Judge Lee Sang-yeop of the Ulsan District Court Criminal Division 5 sentenced A (44), who was tried for false accusation and violation of the Child Welfare Act (child abuse), to 1 year and 6 months in prison and imposed a 5-year ban on employment at child-related institutions, and ordered immediate detention in court.

A is accused of working as a teacher at a middle school in Dong-gu, Ulsan in 2017, and during an English class in front of 26 students, criticized the principal and other teachers while using profanity containing sexual expressions.

Additionally, when A protested a warning given to them in the principal's office, they claimed that fellow teacher B laughed mockingly in front of the principal, vice principal, and head of student affairs, and rubbed paper documents harshly on their face causing injury, and submitted a false accusation against B.

Furthermore, A also falsely accused B of filing a false injury report against them and fabricated that B posted on a certain broadcasting station's news social networking service (SNS) that the school and fellow teachers had subjected B to power harassment and insults, thereby accusing B of false accusation.

The court stated the reasons for sentencing: "Based on students' testimonies that A frequently used profanity and sexual remarks during class, it was judged that A emotionally abused the students," and "A repeatedly reported false facts with the intent to have fellow teachers criminally punished, which is a serious offense."
