<Reporter> On a
dark night, a man throws something on the side of the road and hurriedly leaves his seat.
This is a scene where 62-year-old Kim Mo, who is 62 years old, cuts off an electronic anklet and runs away from Okcheon-dong, Suncheon-si, Jeollanam-do at around 3 am yesterday.
Mr. Kim is known to have a criminal record of 35.
He was sentenced to seven years in prison for raping a minor several times in 2006 and was released in 2014.
Although the court ordered the use of electronic anklets until 2019, after committing two different crimes, they were forced to wear electronic anklets by 2023.
As a result, they were classified as 'high risk of recidivism' and received intensive management and supervision.
Kim also violated the rules of going out at night and drinking alcohol twice in September.
Kim, who had been delaying the investigation of the Ministry of Justice, fled from his home in Changnyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do.
Kim, who moved to Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, cut off the electronic anklet with an industrial cutter and disappeared.

As no trace of Mr. Kim was found despite extensive searches, the Ministry of Justice decided to publicly want him yesterday evening.
He was 165 cm skinny, did not wear glasses, wore a black suit and a pink shirt, and was carrying a small handbag.
Police believe that it is highly likely that Kim has left the Suncheon area and expanded the search scope.
