"Pay Up" Man Who Bit Former Stepmother's Face... Sentenced to Prison Again in Second Trial
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-eun] A man in his 40s who hit and bit the cheeks of his former adoptive mother after she refused his demand for money was sentenced to prison again in the second trial.
On the 10th, the Jeonju District Court Criminal Division 1 (Presiding Judge Kang Dong-won) announced that it dismissed the appeal of A (43), who was charged with assault, and upheld the original sentence of eight months in prison.
A is accused of repeatedly hitting the face and biting the cheeks of his former adoptive mother B at a house in Wanju-gun, Jeonbuk, last February. It was revealed that A committed the crime after B refused his demand to "take my children and raise them and give me 20 million won."
A was adopted as a son by B in the past but repeatedly committed acts of filial impiety, including assaulting B. Eventually, after a court ruling confirmed the non-existence of a biological parent-child relationship, B reportedly deleted A from the family relationship registry.

The appellate court stated, "Considering the relationship between the defendant and the victim, the circumstances and method of the defendant's crime, the nature of the crime is extremely serious," and added, "The victim has not been compensated for the damage and has not forgiven the defendant, so the original sentence is not considered heavy."
