The 30-year-old father, who was brought to trial on charges of sexually assaulting his 8-year-old daughter several times while infected with AIDS, denied the charges.



The 11th Criminal Division of the Daegu District Court (Chief Judge Lee Sang-oh) held a second trial today (11th) of Mr. A (39), who was charged with violating the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (adultery, etc. for minors under the age of 13). .



Mr. A admitted to most allegations of sexual abuse, such as rape, but insisted that there was no direct sexual assault.



A's lawyer said, "I answered according to the investigator's guiding question in a situation where the victim's intelligence was low." "Although A is infected with the HIV virus, he did not commit sexual assault, so the charge of violating the AIDS Prevention Act is not established." claimed.



However, he said that he admitted to all charges of similarly raping her biological daughter on three occasions.



In response to the defense counsel's claim, the prosecution refuted the argument of the accused and his defense counsel as not valid, saying, "The victim's statement is credible, and the accused has admitted to the sexual assault by the investigative agency."



Previously, Mr. A is accused of sexually assaulting her biological daughter, Ms. B, who was 8 years old at the time, several times for a month from February 2019 by threatening and threatening her.



At the time, Mr. A was infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS, and was found to have committed the crime against her biological daughter while knowing that she was infected.



Fortunately, Ms. B was tested negative for HIV.



Ms. B hid the facts of the damage, but she revealed this fact in the course of consulting with the school teacher, and the whole story was revealed when the teacher reported it to the police.



In January, the prosecution indicted Mr. A for emotional stability and prevention of recidivism, and requested the deprivation of parental authority, and the Daegu Family Court cited this.



On the other hand, it is said that Mr. A's spouse is making a petition asking for mercy from her husband.



The next hearing will be held on the afternoon of the 27th of the following month.
