On the 15th, Judge Jeong Hee-yeop of the Criminal Division 1 at the Suncheon Branch of the Gwangju District Court sentenced the woman, identified as A (20), who was charged with sexually assaulting a taxi driver, to 8 months in prison with a 2-year probation. Additionally, she was ordered to complete 80 hours of community service, attend 40 hours of sexual violence treatment lectures, and was banned from employment at institutions related to children, adolescents, and persons with disabilities for 2 years.

Judge Jeong explained the sentencing by stating, "The defendant's actions caused the victim to feel sexual humiliation, and the victim has petitioned for severe punishment," and added, "The defendant is a first-time offender with no prior criminal record and has shown remorse by admitting to the crime."

In May of last year, in the early morning in Yeosu-si, Jeollanam-do, A was charged with grabbing the right arm of male driver B and making him touch her leg while riding in his taxi. A also demanded that the taxi's black box be turned off, and after a 10-minute struggle with B, she got out of the taxi. Following the incident, B filed a complaint with the police, claiming he had been sexually assaulted.
