A man in his 20s who assaulted his teenage girlfriend indiscriminately for 20 minutes on suspicion of talking about his ex-boyfriend was sentenced to a heavier sentence at the appeals court than in the original trial.
Today (26th), Chuncheon District Court Criminal Division 1 (Chief Judge Kim Cheong-mi) broke the original sentence of 10 months in prison for A (25), who was charged with injury and assault, and sentenced him to 1 year and 2 months in prison.
A is accused of assaulting B (18), who was sitting in the passenger seat of the vehicle on November 1, last year by dragging her out of the car and holding her by the hair.
In addition, Mr. A was handed over to trial for assaulting Miss B's face for about 20 minutes in the vehicle again.
In addition, even after arriving at the destination, Mr. A opened the passenger seat door, grabbed Miss B's hair, swearing, and hitting and kicking with his fists.
As a result, Ms. B suffered a physical injury that required treatment for two weeks, and it was found that she suffered from severe depression.
At the time, Mr. A suspected that Mr. B was talking about his ex-boyfriend while on the phone with his friend at the time and assaulted him, and it was revealed that Mr.
Person A appealed, saying, "The sentence is unfair" after being sentenced to 10 months in prison in the lower court.
However, the court of appeals sentenced him to a longer sentence of 1 year and 2 months in prison.

The court of appeals said, "Injuring a victim who is a minor's lover by using excessive violence is very bad and the guilt is heavy." We didn't do it properly," he said.
He also explained the reason for the sentencing, saying, "The accused is highly likely to be blamed for committing these crimes during the period of repeated offences for violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning Traffic Accidents."
