Teenager Sentenced to 6 Years for Sexually Assaulting Intellectually Disabled Woman After Chasing Out Husband

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Ju Cheol-in] A teenager who sexually assaulted the wife of an intellectually disabled couple at their home was sentenced to prison.

On the 26th, according to the legal community, the Criminal Division 1 of the Eastern Branch of the Busan District Court (Chief Judge Choi Ji-kyung) sentenced A (19) to six years in prison for violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes (sexual assault against a disabled person by deception) and other charges. Additionally, A was ordered to complete a 40-hour sexual violence treatment program and was banned from employment at child and youth-related institutions and welfare facilities for the disabled for five years each.

A was tried on charges of sexually assaulting C, the wife of B, whom he had known, three times starting around November 2020. B and C were a couple with severe intellectual disabilities and very low social age. A went to the couple’s home, got the husband B to leave the room, and despite C’s refusal, sexually assaulted her. The court recognized A’s criminal acts based on C’s consistent victim testimony, B’s eyewitness account, and investigation records.

The court stated, “Although the victim expressed opposition, the defendant committed the crime by exploiting the mental disabilities of the victim and her spouse,” and added, “Considering that the defendant does not show remorse, has not been forgiven by the victim, and was a juvenile at the time of the crime, the sentence was determined.”
