Air Force Major Who Met Wife's Lover: "Annoying, Let's Cheat Too"

Active Air Force Major Fined 900,000 Won for Forced Molestation
Met to Collect Evidence of Infidelity, Said "Let's Go to a Motel Too"

An active-duty Air Force major was found to have forcibly molested the wife of a man who was having an affair with his own wife, saying, "Let's have an affair too."

According to the legal community on the 6th, the Pyeongtaek Branch of Suwon District Court, Criminal Division 1 (Judge Kim Soo-young), sentenced Air Force Major A, who was tried on charges of forcible molestation, to a fine of 900,000 won.

In November of last year, Major A and victim B met at a cafe after learning that their respective spouses were involved in an extramarital affair. They met to collect evidence of their spouses' infidelity, but Major A suddenly proposed sexual activity to B at the meeting.

Major A suddenly grabbed B's hand and touched her twice. Even though B refused, he said, "Let's have an affair too. It's annoying," and added, "Let's go to a (motel) together today."

He continued to touch the back of B's hand three times, and when B greeted someone outside the cafe and tried to leave, he said, "You really have no intention, right?" and even hugged her.

The court stated, "A admits to the crime and shows an attitude of remorse," adding, "He is a first-time offender with no prior criminal record, and the degree of physical force or molestation used by A is relatively minor. Furthermore, he has paid a substantial amount of money to the victim and reached a settlement, and the victim does not wish for A to be punished," as reasons for sentencing.

Meanwhile, forcible molestation is a representative type of sexual crime, established when any act that causes unwanted sexual shame or disgust to the victim is forced. Under criminal law, committing forcible molestation can result in imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine of up to 15 million won.
