[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Nayeon] A man in his 40s who sexually assaulted his 9-year-old stepdaughter dozens of times over seven years has been sentenced to a heavy prison term.

The 12th Criminal Division of Jeonju District Court (Chief Judge Lee Jongmun) sentenced A (46), who was indicted on charges of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, etc. (rape of a minor under 13), to 20 years in prison, ordered him to complete 120 hours of sexual violence treatment programs and 80 hours of child abuse treatment programs, and imposed a 10-year employment ban at welfare facilities for the disabled and child-related institutions.

A, who was charged with sexually assaulting his stepdaughter B 21 times from 2015 until February of this year, continuously demanded sexual relations from B, who was only 9 years old at the time of the first offense, threatening her by saying, "If you tell your mother, I will kill everyone."

A was arrested following a report by B's mother, who recognized the crime late, and it was reported that he partially denied the offenses during the investigation.

Meanwhile, the court stated, "The defendant mentally oppressed the victim and treated her as a sexual object, making severe punishment inevitable," and added, "Considering the method and duration of the crime, it is appropriate to incarcerate him for a long period to allow time for repentance."
