A 60-year-old man who even dived in a public bath and sexually harassed a 6-year-old boy

A man in his 60s who was drunk and touched an important part of a 6-year-old boy in a public bath alone was sentenced to prison. On the 27th, the Uijeongbu District Court's Namyangju Branch 1 (Chief Judge Park Ok-hee) announced that A, who was accused of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, was sentenced to two years and six months in prison and three years of probation.It also ordered the completion of a 40-hour lecture on sexual violence treatment programs and restrictions on employment at institutions related to children and the disabled for three years.

In May, A was handed over to trial on charges of diving and approaching B, who was playing with toys in a public bath, and touching an important part. Feeling strange, B screamed and rushed out of the bath, and C, a witness who saw the molestation scene, informed B's father of A's crime. Mr. A was caught in the act by the police dispatched to the scene.

The court ruled, "The defendant is guilty of molesting a victim who was only six years old who was naked and has not yet been forgiven by the victim.""However, we suspend the execution by taking into account the fact that the defendant reflected on the crime and could not be concluded that he had a subjective purpose to satisfy sexual desire through the crime in this case," he explained the reason for the sentence
