"Devote Your Body Until Death," 40-Year-Old Sentenced to Prison for Forcing Absurd 'Sex Slave Contract'
Busan District Court Sentences Domestic Helper to 1 Year Imprisonment for Confinement and Forcing "Devote Your Body" Signature Due to Serious Crime Nature
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A man in his 40s who orchestrated an absurd scheme to force a housekeeper to sign a modern-day "sex slave contract" has been sentenced to prison.
The Busan District Court's 6th Criminal Division (Chief Judge Choi Jin-gon) sentenced Mr. A (45) to one year in prison for detaining a housekeeper in a room and forcing her to sign a sex slave contract.
According to the Busan District Court, on July 27 at around 7 p.m., Mr. A called housekeeper Ms. B, who had just finished cleaning, into a room at his home.
Using the excuse that he was dissatisfied with the cleaning, Mr. A handed Ms. B a pre-prepared sex slave contract.
Mr. A threatened, "If you do not write your name and signature, I will file a complaint with the housekeeping agency and prevent you from working."
The contract Mr. A presented on colored paper included statements such as, "From now until I die, I will do as I am told, dedicate my body and flesh, and absolutely obey all your orders."
When Ms. B, terrified, tried to leave the house, Mr. A wrapped his arms around her waist and detained her inside for 10 minutes. Ms. B sustained injuries requiring two weeks of medical treatment to her knees and shoulders while resisting.
