A Man in His 40s Who Sexually Assaulted His Biological Daughter for Years and Even Demanded "Introduce Me to a Friend"

Court: "Victim petitions for severe punishment of defendant, and the nature of the crime is very serious"

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] A man in his 40s who repeatedly sexually assaulted and abused his biological daughter was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He committed these crimes by threatening his daughter, who was only 13 to 14 years old at the time, leveraging his economic status as the head of the household.

On the 8th, the 1st Criminal Division of the Pohang Branch of Daegu District Court (Chief Judge Kwon Soon-hyang) announced that Mr. A, who was tried for violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (rape within family relations) and other charges, was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He was also ordered to a 7-year employment restriction in child and youth facilities and welfare facilities for the disabled, along with a 7-year attachment of an electronic location tracking device.

Mr. A is accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting and abusing his biological daughter, Ms. B, from 2018 to 2020. He also abused Ms. B because she usually did not respond well. Notably, Mr. A committed sexual violence against Ms. B even when she was sleeping with her mother and younger sister, and he was investigated for demanding that she "introduce friends."

The court stated, "The victim petitioned the court for severe punishment of the defendant, saying, 'I have no parents, nowhere to go, my life is destroyed, and I see no future. The wounds do not heal, and I feel myself deteriorating.' The nature of the crime is very serious, making a corresponding severe punishment inevitable," but also noted, "considering that the defendant admitted all charges and showed remorse for his wrongdoing," as reasons for sentencing.
