A man in his thirties who was handed over to trial for sexual assault on a drunk woman appealed for a sentence saying “Pilot is a dream” and was sentenced to probation in prison at the first trial.
Today (22), the 26th Division of the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Agreement (Judge Rae-ni Kim) sentenced Mr. A, who was charged with quasi-rape, to one year and six months in prison and two years probation.
Mr. A had a drink with Mr. B, a woman he met through an acquaintance at a club in Seoul on October 19 last year.
Then, when Mr. B fell asleep because he was drunk, it was investigated that Mr. A took Mr. B, who was unable to protest, to a hotel and raped him.
At a decision hearing held last month, the prosecution asked the court to imprison A for three years, to complete a sexual violence treatment program, to disclose and notify personal information, and to give an order to restrict employment for five years.
Regarding this, Mr. A's lawyer said, "Mr. A has made a lot of effort to become an airplane pilot, but he can no longer achieve his dreams because of this mistake."
The judge said, "Mr. A is acknowledging the prosecution, and the crime is serious," but "It is the first offender with no criminal record, deep reflection, and payment of settlement money to the victim to show that the victim did not want to be punished," the court sentenced him to imprisonment Is somewhat excessive," he sentenced to imprisonment probation.
He also said, "I have faith that I will not repeat my mistakes when I look at my personal circumstances and attitudes during the trial process," he said, saying, "I will not issue an order to restrict employment (as requested by the prosecution)."
However, regardless of the result of the trial, A, who dreamed of becoming a pilot, is said to have been virtually unable to find employment due to disqualification related to criminal power. At the time of the decision trial, the lawyer explained, "There is a space to check whether there is a criminal history, but there is no way to get a job because it is impossible to check it."
