[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.



The Busan District Court stated, "Detaining the victim and causing injury by threatening to file complaints with the housekeeping agency if she did not sign the sex slave contract is a very serious crime," and added, "Claims that part of the crime was caused by the victim are unacceptable," sentencing him to prison.
