Prosecutors demanded a severe sentence for a man in his 80s who was arrested and handed over to trial on charges of sexually assaulting an elementary school student on the way to school.



Yesterday (20th), the Namyangju branch of the Uijeongbu District Prosecutor's Office sentenced A (83) to 20 years in prison for charges of abduction of adultery and rape and forcible molestation of a minor under the age of 13. They requested 20 years of electronic anklets, 10 years of probation, completion of a sexual violence treatment program, disclosure of personal information, and restrictions on employment.



Prosecutors continued, "Mr. A committed another crime against a young student even though he had a history of molesting a minor student several times. We took into account the fact that he denied some of the crime and did not reflect on it.”

Retired civil servant A is accused of sexually assaulting elementary school student B, who was attending school on April 27, saying, "Let's go to my house and eat soy milk."



On the day of the crime, the police rushed to the scene after receiving a report from Mr. B, and arrested Mr. A and arrested him. 



As a result of the investigation, it was revealed that Mr. A was handed over to trial for sexually harassing young students in 2017 and 2018, and was sentenced to a suspended sentence of imprisonment and a fine, respectively.



At the time of the crime in 2018, despite having committed another sexual offense against a child during the probation period, the court sentenced him to a fine, saying that there was no risk of recidivism on the grounds that Mr. He committed another crime after a year.



At the trial, Mr. A's lawyer said, "I admit to the charge of enticing the victim and touching the body, but the actual sexual assault did not take place due to Mr. A's sexual problems." 



He claimed, "As a result of the analysis by the National Institute of Scientific Investigation, the victim's DNA and semen reaction did not appear in the victim's body." .



The sentencing hearing for Mr. A is scheduled to be held in the same court on the 20th of next month.
