This is because the doctor has already received the highest possible punishment for a juvenile offender.



The Seoul Central District Criminal Division 5-2 (Chief Judges Won Jeong-suk · Lee Kwan-hyeong · Choi Byung-ryul) announced today (26th) that Lee was additionally charged with violating the Information and Communications Network Act, attempted blackmail, and aiding in the second trial. exempted.



Person A, who was charged with Lee, was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison and an order to collect 12.08 million won.



In the first and second trial, Lee was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 5 years in prison for conspiracy to operate a doctor's room.



In the first trial, the court sentenced a long-term one year to a short six months for the charge of receiving payment for a denial-of-service attack (DDoS), and imprisonment for a charge of aiding a crime committed by another using ransomware, a malicious program. They were sentenced to 4 months and 1 year of probation respectively.



The court of appeals merged the two cases and tried them, then overturned the judgment of the first instance and waived the sentence.



The juvenile law was the background that led to this judgment.



The juvenile law prohibits juveniles from being sentenced to more than 10 years for a long term or 5 years for a short term.



The court explained the reason for the ruling, saying, "If the judgment was made at the same time as a crime such as joining a criminal group (related to the doctor's room), it would not have been sentenced for more than 10 years for a long term or 5 years for a short term."
