A male trainee in his 30s who was handed over to trial for molesting a female patient who visited the emergency room and filming parts of his body was sentenced to five years in prison.
The 8th Criminal Division of the Daegu District Court (Chief Judge Lee Young-sook) sentenced A (35), who was charged with violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, etc. sentenced.
She also ordered her to attend 40 hours of a sexual assault treatment program and to be barred from employment for 10 years at child, youth and disability related organizations.
On the morning of December 28, 2020, Mr. A was handed over to trial on charges of molesting a woman in her 20s who visited the emergency room of Kyungpook National University Hospital with high fever and other symptoms of acute pyelonephritis several times while pretending to be medical.
She is also accused of illegally filming parts of her body of her Mr. B with her cell phone.
The court said, "The victim eventually gave up on the job examination that he had been preparing for before the incident, and is receiving psychiatric treatment as a result of the shock of this case. "We took into account the fact that the test was independently conducted without the need for examination, and that stool and urine tests do not fall under normal treatment and medical procedures," he pointed out.
The court also ruled that "there is a high risk of recidivism if the accused becomes a medical practitioner in the future, has his own treatment room and is in charge of patient care, so he has also ordered employment restrictions."
Kyungpook National University Hospital fired Mr. A from her training position 15 days after Mr. A's crime.
On the other hand, Mr. A's crime does not fall under the disqualification of medical personnel, so he can maintain his doctor's license in accordance with Article 5 of the Medical Act.
