[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A man in his 60s who watched obscene videos at high volume in a restaurant and caused a disturbance was sentenced to three years in prison.

On the 23rd, the Ulsan District Court Criminal Division 3 (Presiding Judge Kim Yong-hee) sentenced A (61), who was indicted on charges of special intimidation and obstruction of business, to three years in prison and a fine of 600,000 won.

According to the prosecution, on January 15th at around 6:30 a.m., A watched obscene videos at high volume on his mobile phone at a gukbap restaurant in Ulsan.

When a restaurant employee asked him to lower the volume, A caused a disturbance for 20 minutes, swearing and spitting food.

The next day, A tried to enter the same restaurant but was denied entry, and he again caused a disturbance for about 20 minutes, swearing at the restaurant staff and other customers.

In addition, A was indicted on charges of obstructing business or threatening others by swearing at places such as restaurants, pubs, and city buses.

Judge Kim stated the sentencing reasons, saying, "Considering the fact that he has a history of repeated punishments including imprisonment for similar crimes, that he repeatedly committed multiple offenses against many victims in a short period, and that he has a very strong violent tendency such as using dangerous objects, isolation through imprisonment is necessary."
