40s Man Sentenced to 3 Years 6 Months for Sexually Assaulting His Biological Daughter... Searches for 'Inmyeonsusim' and 'Chin-jok Sexual Assault' After Investigation

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] A man in his 40s who was charged with sexually assaulting and repeatedly abusing his daughter was sentenced to prison.

On the 27th, according to the legal community, the 12th Criminal Division of the Seoul Eastern District Court (Chief Judge Park Sang-gu) sentenced Mr. A (44), who was tried on charges including violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (forcible molestation within family relations), to 3 years and 6 months in prison and ordered his immediate detention. He was also ordered to complete 40 hours of a sexual violence treatment program and was banned from working in child, youth, and disability-related facilities for 3 years.

Mr. A was prosecuted on charges of habitually abusing his daughter from 2017 to 2018, including touching her body parts under the pretext of giving an oil massage.

Mr. A's side claimed, "The victim had conflicts with the defendant over disciplinary issues," and "The victim is exaggerating and fabricating the matter." However, it was found that Mr. A searched on his mobile phone for information stating that incest is not punishable, and after the police investigation, he searched for terms such as 'heartless,' and 'family sexual assault.'

The court recognized all the charges as guilty, stating, "The crime was committed against his own daughter, which is highly condemnable, and he denies all the charges, showing no remorse." It added, "The victim, who is believed to have suffered mental shock and sexual humiliation, wants the defendant to be punished," and "considering that he has no prior record of sexual offenses and has been raising his children alone after divorce."
