Attempted Abduction of 6-Year-Old Child Alone in Vehicle... Man in His 50s Sentenced to Prison

A man who attempted to kidnap a 6-year-old child who was alone in a vehicle was sentenced to prison and detained in court.

On the 25th, Judge Gong Woo-jin of the Incheon District Court Criminal Division 14 announced that he sentenced Mr. A (55), who was indicted without detention on charges of attempted abduction of a minor and assault, to six months in prison and ordered his detention in court.

Mr. A was brought to trial on charges of attempting to kidnap B (6) on the street in Incheon city at 4:01 p.m. on July 7 last year. At that time, B was alone in a parked vehicle while his parents briefly went to buy something.

After getting into the vehicle, Mr. A threatened B by saying, "I will kill you," but was stopped by an elementary school teacher nearby. Mr. A is also accused of assaulting C (8), who was in front of a nearby convenience store about 10 minutes before the crime, by grabbing his arm and threatening, "I will kill you."

The court stated the sentencing reason, saying, "The damage has not been repaired," and "considering the circumstances of the defendant's crime and the ages of the victims."
