20-Year-Old Pretending to Be a Shaman Fed Dog Excrement as 'Gaslighting'... Sentenced to 7 Years in Prison

"The nature of the crime is very bad"

A man in his 20s who psychologically dominated a high school senior victim and repeatedly committed forced molestation, threats, and assault was sentenced to prison.

On the 29th, Judge Jeong Seong-hwa of the Seoul Southern District Court Criminal Division 11 sentenced the shaman Park Mo (23), who was detained and indicted on charges including special injury, coercion, extortion, and forced molestation, to seven years in prison and ordered him to complete a 40-hour sexual violence treatment program.

The court stated the sentencing reasons, saying, "Each of the crimes was cruel and bizarre, causing severe physical and psychological pain to the victim. Considering the very bad nature of the crimes, the fact that 20 million won was deposited for the victim but the victim expressed refusal and pleaded for severe punishment."

Earlier, on the 15th, the prosecution had requested a 10-year prison sentence for Park and orders for disclosure and notification of personal information.

Park is accused of psychologically dominating the victim from March to June 2023, causing self-harm with a weapon and forcing the victim to eat food waste and dog excrement. He is also charged with extorting 3 million won from the victim and molestation.

Mr. A approached the victim in the spring of 2021 when the victim was a high school senior preparing for college entrance exams, lived together from November of the following year to June last year, and acted as if he were a shaman himself. He also assaulted the victim if the victim did not obey his words and threatened the victim by suggesting that the victim's family would be in danger.
