A 20-year-old public official who seduced and raped a woman he met in an open social media chat room and even filmed illegal videos was sentenced to probation in prison.



The 12th Criminal Division of the Gwangju District Court (Presiding Judge Noh Jae-ho) sentenced a 20-year-old man accused of violating the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Quasi-rape and Sexual Violence Crimes (filming and distributing using cameras, etc.) to 2 years and 6 months in prison and 4 years of probation. He said on the 25th.



Mr. A, a public official, is accused of sexually assaulting and illegally filming Mr. B, whom he met through an open chat on October 18, 2020 by enticing him to a motel.



Person A drank with Mr. B and lured Mr. B, who was about to go home, to a motel before committing a crime.

A was found to have sexually assaulted B, who was drunk and unable to resist, several times and filmed 5 videos using a smartphone.




The court said, "The victim, whose right to sexual self-determination was violated by the accused's crime, seems to have suffered a significant psychological shock from embarrassment and shame, and must have felt a strong fear of distributing the film. If you do, the accused should be severely punished."



Nevertheless, he said, "We have comprehensively considered the fact that the defendant has come to this court, reflects on all his mistakes and shows a repentant attitude, and that he has reached an agreement with the victim." It is reasonable to give him an opportunity to correct his wrong conduct by taking a sexual assault treatment lecture,” he said.
