The appeal of a professor in her 60s who was sentenced to two years and six months in prison at the first trial for similar sexual assault on a female student on the basis of an interview was dismissed.



The 2nd Criminal Division of the Gwangju High Court Jeju Tribunal (Judge Wang Jeong-ok) dismissed the appeal filed by A (62), a former Jeju National University professor, who was handed over to trial for similar sexual assault charges on the grounds of improper sentencing.



The first trial ordered Mr. A to be imprisoned for 2 years and 6 months, to take 40 hours of sexual violence treatment lectures, and to maintain employment restrictions for 10 years in facilities related to children, adolescents and the disabled.



According to the prosecution and the victim's testimony, Mr. A meets and drives, eats at a restaurant, drinks, and sings to Mr. B, saying that he will meet with student B, who is taking his class at school around 5:30 pm on October 30, 2019. I took it.



At a singing bar, Mr. A forced Mr. B to touch a specific part of his body and made a similar sexual assault.



In the file recorded by Mr. B using his mobile phone, 207 times, he expressed his dislike and expressed his intention of resistance.



The words and screams "I want to go home", "I want to go" and "Don't touch" were recorded dozens of times.



On the CC (closed circuit) TV installed in the hallway of the singing bar, the figure of Mr. A bringing Mr. B to escape outside was also photographed.



Mr. B said, "I pretended to give snacks at a singing bar and then put my finger in my mouth," at the second trial hearing the victim's statement on July 16 last year. "After that, the act (similar assault) was carried out, and the professor changed the glasses. I opened the door and ran away.”



Mr. B said, "The writing of the agreement was not forgiving the professor, and I have not forgiven the professor until now."



Mr. B also said, "I have no intention of returning to school after the trial," and "I dreamed of becoming an ordinary office worker after graduation, but I am living like a nightmare due to trauma."



The first trial court said, "The victim agreed with the suspect, but when I saw that the victim once pleaded for severe punishment in the damage statement, the victim did not humanly forgive the suspect," and said, "The victim suffered from depression and panic disorder. He revealed the reason for the sentencing, saying, "The guilt is very bad for what made me think of the same."



At the first trial on June 18, last year, the first trial court arrested Mr. Cho by ex officio, saying, "These crimes must be eliminated in Korea. I will take the defendant as an example."



The judgment of the court of appeals trial was no different from the first trial.



The appellate court said, "The defendant has expressed his intention to refuse hundreds of times, but the crime is not good, such as forcing the victim to commit a crime," and said, "The sentence set by the court of first instance does not seem to be beyond the discretion. He said the reason for the sentencing was to take into account the deterioration and abandonment of his studies.
