[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] A man in his 30s who had previously been punished for public indecency was sentenced to prison again for committing the same crime.

The Chuncheon District Court Criminal Division 1 (Presiding Judge Jung Moon-sik) announced on the 15th that it sentenced Mr. A, who was charged with public indecency, to six months in prison. The court also ordered Mr. A to complete 80 hours of a sexual violence treatment program and imposed a three-year employment restriction at institutions related to children and adolescents.

The court stated the sentencing rationale, saying, "The degree of disgust felt by the victim was significant, and the defendant committed the public indecency offense again during the recidivism period, making it difficult to avoid severe punishment. However, we considered that he admitted all charges and showed remorse."

Mr. A was prosecuted for allegedly committing indecent acts while looking through a transparent glass window at the victim at the counter opposite him inside a karaoke room in Hongcheon around 9:30 p.m. on March 21.

Additionally, on May 8 at around 3:40 p.m., Mr. A allegedly opened the door of a hotel room in Chuncheon and committed indecent acts while having his pants and underwear off.

It was also found that Mr. A had served one and a half years in prison three years ago, in 2017, for the same charges.
