A man in his 80s who was arrested on charges of sexually assaulting an elementary school student on the way to school has been sentenced to a severe sentence. 



Previously, the man had a previous criminal record of sexually harassing a child under the age of 13 in 2017 and 2018, respectively. 



However, at that time, because he was a retired senior civil servant, the court ruled that there was no risk of recidivism, and in the end, he was sentenced to only a fine and probation. 



According to the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Adultery Abuse and Sexual Violence Crimes, the 1st Criminal Settlement Agreement for Namyangju Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court (Judge Park Ok-hee) sentenced the defendant, 83, to 13 years in prison for sexual assault and coercion of a minor under the age of 13. The sentence was announced on the 20th.



In addition, it was ordered to wear electronic anklets for 20 years, employment restrictions for children, adolescents and persons with disabilities for 10 years, and to disclose and notify personal information for 10 years.



On April 27th, Kim was arrested on charges of sexual assault by taking her home after approaching elementary school student A, who was attending school in a residential area in Namyangju, saying she was "pretty". 



In addition, during the trial process, Viagra, an erectile dysfunction drug, was found in Kim's blood taken two days after the crime, causing controversy. 



However, Mr. Kim admitted only molestation, saying, "I was not erected at the time of the crime," and denied the rape charge.



The court said, "The defendant molested a young victim and took him home to rape him, so the crime is very poor." explained. 



"We took into account the fact that the victim was not forgiven, that no effort was made to recover the damage, and that the victim is an elderly person," he added.



Meanwhile, the prosecution had requested a 20-year prison sentence for Kim.
