The state affairs audit data revealed that the obligation to attach electronic devices of sex offenders who completed their prison sentences is not being properly observed.
According to the data submitted by the National Police Agency and the Ministry of Justice by Park Wan-soo, a member of the National Assembly's Administrative Safety Committee, on the 14th, a
total of 5 years and 8 months from 2015 to August this year violated the Electronic Device Attachment Act. It
reached
951 people
.
Of these, 858 were found to have not properly fulfilled their electronic device charging obligations or violated the regulations prohibiting going out or entering, and 93 people even damaged electronic anklets.
In particular, Mr. A, who was sentenced to imprisonment for committing crimes such as attempted rape and robbery, was found to be in a state of unknown whereabouts after running away from his electronic anklet in October last year.
The electronic anklet was damaged after leaving the residential area of Ulsan without permission and moving to Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, but it is known that the escape could not be prevented because an investigation was not conducted immediately after leaving the residential area.
The police conducted a massive search, but to date, Mr. A has not been arrested, and Mr. A is wanted for nomination.
Rep. Park Wan-su raised a problem with the current system, which is inevitably delaying the understanding of the situation by the police, saying, "If the Ministry of Justice had asked the police to investigate immediately after leaving the residence, it would not have reached the situation where the electronic anklet was cut off and escaped."
Rep. Park said, "For
now, even if Cho Doo-soon cuts off his electronic anklet and flees, the police cannot immediately recognize it
." I urged.
