[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] A man in his 20s who indiscriminately assaulted a victim after failing to attempt sexual assault was sentenced to a suspended prison term.

According to the legal community on the 8th, the Criminal Division 11 of Uijeongbu District Court sentenced Mr. A, a man in his 20s charged with attempted rape and special injury, to 2 years and 6 months in prison with a 4-year suspension. Along with this, he was ordered to attend 40 hours of sexual violence treatment lectures and was banned from employment for 4 years at institutions related to children and adolescents as well as welfare facilities for the disabled.

The court pointed out, "The defendant attempted to rape the victim but failed, and in anger, assaulted the victim with dangerous objects causing injuries that required medical treatment, indicating the gravity of the crime."

However, the court explained the sentencing reason, stating, "Considering comprehensively the defendant’s confession and remorse, being a first-time offender, reaching an agreement with the victim, and other factors such as the method and circumstances of the crime and the situation after the crime."

Mr. A attempted sexual assault on victim Mr. B after being left alone with him while drinking with acquaintances at a motel in northern Gyeonggi last July.

Mr. A subdued Mr. B to prevent resistance, removed his clothes, and attempted rape by touching his body. However, the attempt failed as Mr. B strongly resisted by slapping Mr. A’s cheek and shouting.

Afterward, Mr. A, angered by being slapped in the face by Mr. B, began to assault him. Mr. A repeatedly punched Mr. B’s face.

During this process, although Mr. B pleaded, "Please spare me," Mr. A indiscriminately assaulted his face and body and eventually picked up a nearby jokbal (pig’s trotters) bone and struck Mr. B’s head multiple times. Consequently, Mr. A was brought to trial on charges of attempted rape and special injury.
