'Nancy Lang Assault and Embezzlement' Wang Jinjin Sentenced to 6 Years in First Trial

[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] Wang Jinjin (real name Jeon Junju), who was the spouse of broadcaster Nancy Lang, was tried and sentenced to prison for charges of fraud, embezzlement, and assault against Nancy Lang.

On the 22nd, Chief Judge Choi Chang-hoon of the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Division 8 sentenced Wang to six years in prison and ordered him to complete 40 hours of a sexual violence treatment program on charges of embezzlement, fraud, and injury. The court recognized most of Wang's charges as guilty. However, regarding the part of defrauding 4 million won among several fraud charges, the court acquitted him due to lack of evidence.

Wang was indicted in August 2017 on charges of embezzlement for receiving hundreds of pieces of pottery without paying for them, and was subsequently indicted on multiple counts of fraud, injury to Nancy Lang, and violation of the Domestic Violence Punishment Act. The court consolidated and heard seven cases filed against Wang. Nancy Lang registered her marriage with Wang in December 2017, but in October of the following year, she announced her intention to divorce via social networking services (SNS), later filing a lawsuit and winning in the first trial. Their divorce lawsuit is currently in the second trial as Wang appealed. The sentencing date is scheduled for June 11.
