[Asia Economy Reporter Hanah Na] A man in his 40s who groped a same-sex designated driver was sentenced to a suspended prison term.

On the 24th, the Cheongju District Court announced that A (47), who was indicted on charges of forcible molestation, was sentenced to 6 months in prison with a 2-year suspension. He was also ordered to perform 120 hours of community service and attend 40 hours of sexual violence treatment lectures.

A was brought to trial for repeatedly touching the thighs and other parts of a designated driver (28, male) who was driving his car on a road in Cheongju, Chungbuk, at around 10:45 p.m. on June 2.

It was investigated that A made several sexual advances toward the designated driver, saying things like "I want to touch your genitals" and "I'll give you more money if you let me touch."

The court stated, "The sentence was determined considering the fact that he had a prior record of being given a suspended indictment for molestation in a public place and that he was not forgiven by the victim."
