A former medical student at Chonbuk National University, who was sentenced to probation in a trial by hitting a girlfriend and sexually assaulting him, was arrested in an appeals court.

The first sentence of the Gwangju High Court's Judge of the Jeonju Tribunal (Deputy Chief Justice Seong-Ju Kim) today (5th) in an appeal against A(24) accused of rape, etc. Sentenced to court.

It also ordered the completion of a 40-hour sexual assault treatment program and a three-year restriction on employment at children and youth-related institutions.

The court said that the accused "reflected on the surface, from the centrifugal to the trial," but de facto denies that the victim was raped. "It is recognized that the defendants assaulted and raped the victim in various circumstances," he said.

"As a preliminary medical practitioner who needs to protect and treat the socially vulnerable, the case where the accused assaulted a girlfriend and raped her is very bad," he said. There is also a great possibility of social criticism."

A was indicted on September 3, 2018, while attending Chonbuk National University Medical School, in a studio in Jeonju, where he was fisted and sexually assaulted by his girlfriend B.

He turned out to have been raped again when Mr. B, who had been sexually assaulted, said,'Don't contact me anymore.'

Mr. A was also accused of driving a car drunk on May 11 last year and injuring the car he was waiting for, hurting the other driver and passenger.

The trial court sentenced the defendant to probation, considering that the accused had agreed with the victim and that there was no record of punishment for sexual assault.

In response, citizens and social groups in Jeonbuk Province responded, saying, "The courts have applied generous sentencing standards to prospective medical students who are responsible for ensuring the life and safety of patients."

When the incident broke out, Chonbuk National University was dismissed to signify Mr. A's departure after approval from the Faculty of Medicine and the President of the University.
