"Wants to Kiss"... 70-Year-Old Boss Molests Teenage Part-Time Worker

Ulsan District Court Sentences 10 Million Won Fine
"Considering Age and No Prior Sex Crime Record"

A man in his 70s who sexually harassed a teenage female part-time worker at his own store by saying "I want to kiss you" and pulling her waist was sentenced to a fine.

On the 10th, the Criminal Division 12 of Ulsan District Court (Chief Judge Lee Daero) announced that it sentenced Mr. A, in his 70s, who was indicted for violating the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles from Sexual Abuse (forcible sexual harassment), to a fine of 10 million won. He was also ordered to complete 40 hours of a sexual violence treatment program and was banned from employment at child and youth-related institutions for three years.

Mr. A, who runs a restaurant in Ulju-gun, Ulsan, verbally harassed Ms. B, a teenage part-time worker, on a January afternoon while giving her a ride to the store in his car, saying, "I want to kiss you. I want to hug you." After arriving at the store, he poked Ms. B's body and, upon entering the store, even pulled her waist toward himself.

Additionally, Mr. A sent multiple messages via mobile messenger to Ms. B, including phrases such as "You are pretty. I love you." Feeling embarrassed, Ms. B was unable to immediately protest and struggled, but reported the incident several days later.

The court pointed out, "It is presumed that the young victim felt considerable sexual shame and helplessness after being harassed by the defendant who employed her, and the crime is by no means light." Regarding the sentencing, the court explained, "However, considering that the defendant has no prior record of sexual crimes and his age, a fine was imposed."
