Daegu District Court.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A man in his 50s who was prosecuted for secretly attaching a GPS tracker to his girlfriend's car on suspicion of cheating has been sentenced to prison.

The Daegu District Court, Criminal Division 10 (Presiding Judge Lee Jeong-mok), announced on the 3rd that it sentenced Mr. A, who was charged with secretly attaching a GPS tracker to his girlfriend's car (violation of the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information) and other charges, to 10 months in prison.

Mr. A was indicted for secretly attaching a GPS tracker to his girlfriend B's (in her 50s) car on February 10 and collecting B's location information for over two months.

According to the court, Mr. A is also charged with special injury for suddenly stabbing B in the face with a weapon while sitting in the passenger seat of B's car on April 4, causing injuries requiring two weeks of medical treatment.

It was revealed that Mr. A committed the crime because he suspected his girlfriend was seeing another man.

The court stated, "Although the crime appears to have been somewhat impulsive under the influence of alcohol, the nature of the crime is serious. Considering the risk of causing significant harm to the victim's life and body, and the fact that the victim has not forgiven him, we have taken all these factors into account."
