[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Jeong-wan] A high school student who confined a peer in a motel, burned him with a cigarette lighter, and then took nude photos has been indicted while in custody.

According to the legal community on the 14th, the Incheon District Prosecutors' Office changed the charges against high school student A (16), who was referred by the police on charges including special injury and joint confinement under the Act on the Punishment of Violent Acts, to robbery causing injury and special confinement causing injury, and indicted him in custody.

The prosecution also applied charges of filming using a camera under the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes against A. Additionally, the prosecution indicted middle school student B (14) without detention on the same charges, and high school student C (16) without detention on special injury charges.

A and B are accused of confining and assaulting high school student D (18) for about eight hours at a motel in Michuhol-gu, Incheon, around 4 a.m. on the 13th of last month, causing injury.

They reportedly burned D's body with a cigarette lighter and assaulted him with empty bottles, and took nude photos. C is accused of arriving at the motel later than A and B and assaulting D, causing injury.

According to the prosecution's supplementary investigation, A and B also took D's cellphone and clothes. D, who was assaulted, suffered severe injuries including facial fractures and received treatment at a hospital.

It was revealed that they committed these crimes after a verbal dispute and quarrel with D.

The case has been assigned to the Criminal Division 13 of the Incheon District Court (Presiding Judge Ho Seong-ho), and the first trial date has not yet been set.
