20s Sentenced for Producing Sexual Exploitation Material by Threatening Elementary Student... "High Risk of Recidivism"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] A man in his 20s was sentenced to prison for sexually assaulting an elementary school student by threatening her with post plagiarism and producing sexually exploitative materials.

On the 24th, according to the legal community, the Daejeon District Court Criminal Division 12 (Chief Judge Na Sang-hoon) sentenced A (28) to five years in prison and ordered him to wear an electronic monitoring device (electronic anklet) for six years on charges of violating the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles Against Sexual Abuse (production and distribution of sexual exploitation materials, etc.).

The court emphasized, "The defendant was sentenced to imprisonment for a sexual violence crime and committed another sexual violence crime less than four years after completing his prison term, showing a pattern of habitual offenses. The sexual offender risk assessment scale also indicated a high risk of recidivism." It added, "Considering that the crime was meticulously planned and executed targeting vulnerable minor females, the method was malicious and the nature of the crime is severe."

A is accused of approaching B (12) in a KakaoTalk open chat room last February and threatening her by saying, "I am an officer at the Youth Crime Task Force. A report has been filed that you plagiarized posts from another open chat room. Your parents must appear at the police station, but if you want to cancel the report, you must send nude photos," coercing her to take nude photos and send them to him.

Two days later, he met B, promising to delete the police report if she underwent a physical examination, and sexually molested her three times until early March by touching her body, charges that violate the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, etc.
