A former idol group member was indicted on charges of sexual assault and harassment of a fellow member and was sentenced to probation in the second trial.
On the 7th, the 9th Criminal Division of the Seoul High Court (Chief Judges Jeon Ji-won, Koo Tae-hoe, and Yoon Kwon-won) sentenced Mr. A, who was indicted on charges of pseudo-rape and forcible molestation, to 2 years and 6 months in prison and 3 years of probation, the same as in the first 메이저사이트trial. In addition, he was ordered to complete an 80-hour sexual violence treatment program.
Mr. A was a member of a 6-member male idol group. He was handed over to trial on charges of touching a fellow member’s body in the dormitory and practice room between 2017 and 2021. Mr. A admitted to the charge of forcible molestation but denied the charge of quasi-rape.
The first and second trials found the victim guilty on all charges, saying the victim’s statement was specific and consistent. However, the reason for the sentencing was stated, “We took into account the fact that Mr. A reached an agreement with the victim.”
