The president of the Nonghyup in Gyeonggi Province, who had been briefly prosecuted for sexual harassment of an employee, objected to a formal trial and was sentenced to a heavier sentence.
President A was investigated for harassment, such as putting his hands on the waist and shoulder of employee B while having a dinner at a karaoke room in Incheon in May last year.
Initially, the prosecution briefly charged Mr. A for a fine of 3 million won.
The term'summary prosecution' refers to a prosecution procedure in which a judge can conduct a trial with only the investigation record documents without going through a trial if the prosecutor deems it appropriate to impose a'fine penalty' on a suspect rather than imprisonment or imprisonment.
However, Mr. A rejected the summary prosecution, which simplifies the trial process and filed for a formal trial.
"It's unfortunate. I can't admit allegations of sexual harassment."
In the end, Mr. A, who was brought to a formal trial on charges of forced harassment, was sentenced to a fine of 10 million won in the first trial held at the Uijeongbu District Court yesterday (15th). Rather, the fines have more than tripled. The Uijeongbu District Law Criminal 11 Exclusive (Judge Nam Min-young) ordered Mr. A to be restricted from employment in institutions related to children and adolescents for three years, and to complete a sexual violence treatment program for 40 hours.
The court admitted the charges against Mr. A and explained the reason for the sentence, saying, "We considered the fact that the crime was severe and the damage suffered by the victim was not light, such as sexual shame."
