30s Man with AIDS Arrested and Indicted for Sexually Assaulting Young Daughter, Custody Rights Termination Requested

Daegu District Prosecutors' Office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The prosecution has arrested a man in his 30s, who knowingly infected with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), for repeatedly sexually assaulting his young biological daughter and has filed for loss of parental rights.

The prosecution judged that Mr. A has no intention to raise his child and referred the case to trial.

The Daegu District Prosecutors' Office's Women and Children Crime Investigation Division announced on the 23rd that it has arrested and indicted Mr. A (38) on charges of sexually assaulting his biological daughter while infected with AIDS (violations of the Sexual Violence Punishment Act and the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Prevention Act) and has filed for loss of parental rights.

According to the prosecution, Mr. A is accused of sexually assaulting his 8-year-old daughter three times between February and March 2019.

Mr. A had been diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS. Fortunately, Mr. A's daughter tested negative for HIV in a test conducted on the 3rd of this month.

Mr. A's daughter had concealed the abuse until recently when she confided her trauma during a counseling session with a teacher at school. The teacher reported it to the police, and Mr. A's heinous acts were uncovered.

The prosecution deemed it necessary to promptly revoke Mr. A's parental rights to ensure the victim's emotional stability and prevent recidivism, and thus filed for loss of parental rights along with the indictment. Additionally, to protect the victim, requests were made for support covering education and living expenses.
