A man in his 30s who molested an unspecified number of women while wandering around a commercial building has been sentenced to three years in prison.


At the sentencing hearing for Person A, held on April 29 under the jurisdiction of Chief Judge Yoo Sangho of the Suwon District Court Criminal Division 1, the prosecutor requested a prison sentence, stating, "Given the nature of the crime, the risk of recidivism is high."


In the final argument, Person A's lawyer appealed for leniency, saying, "Rather than isolating the defendant from society, please give him a chance to reintegrate into the community through probation." In his final statement, Person A bowed his head and said, "If I am allowed to return to society, I will live my life apologizing so that this never happens again. I am truly sorry for causing deep wounds to the victims. I will live reflecting on my actions."


Person A is accused of forcibly holding hands or touching the shoulders of eight women at locations such as a cafe inside a commercial building in Gwanggyo New Town, Iui-dong, Suwon, at around 6 p.m. on January 16. According to the investigation, he repeatedly approached women sitting on chairs and suddenly hugged them from behind while moving around inside the cafe.


It was also found that, just one day earlier on January 15, he was apprehended by police on suspicion of molesting four women at the same location. While under investigation without detention, he committed the same crime again and was arrested in the act. At the time, it was confirmed that he was not intoxicated.



The sentencing hearing will be held at 1:50 p.m. on May 13.
