[Asia Economy Reporter Kim So-young] A man in his 40s who was accused of sexually assaulting his two underage daughters for several years has been sentenced to prison.

According to the legal community, on the 28th, the 11th Criminal Division of the Daejeon District Court (Presiding Judge Park Heon-haeng) sentenced Mr. A (43), who was charged with forced molestation within a family relationship, statutory rape of a minor under 13, and child abuse, to 10 years in prison.

He was also ordered to complete 40 hours each of child abuse and sexual violence treatment programs, and was banned from employment at child, youth, and disability welfare facilities for 10 years.

Mr. A was tried on charges of forcibly molesting his eldest daughter, Ms. B, by touching her body and coercing her into sexual acts at his home in Jung-gu, Daejeon, from 2016 when she was 8 years old until she entered middle school last year.

In 2018, when his younger daughter, Ms. C, was 7 years old, he forced sexual intercourse with her after engaging in sexual acts, and in January of this year, he raped Ms. C while showing her a sex video and demanding, "Do the same."

It was revealed that Mr. A abused his daughters by throwing them onto the bed when they refused his demands.

This came to light after Ms. B, who had not reported the abuse out of concern for her younger sister at home, eventually reported it to the police.

The court stated, "He treated his two young daughters as objects for sexual gratification, molesting and raping them, and the victims will carry deep scars for life. As the head of the family, he became a source of fear and terror rather than protection. If it had not been for the eldest daughter's report, they would have suffered even greater pain, so a severe punishment is warranted."

It added, "However, considering that he has no prior criminal record except for fines, and that he is remorseful and reflective of his crimes, the sentence was determined accordingly."
