On the 23rd, the Suwon High Court's 2-3 Criminal Department maintained the original trial sentenced to two and a half years in prison in the appeal trial of Yoo Young-jae, who was charged with violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (forced harassment by relatives).
The court said "The sentence cannot be considered too heavy or light."
Yoo Young-jae was arrested and charged with forcibly molesting his then-spouse Sunwoo Eun-sook's biological sister A five times from March to October 2023. In January, the first trial court sentenced him to two and a half years in prison, arrested him in court, and ordered him to complete a 40-hour sexual violence treatment program and restrict employment at institutions related to children and the disabled for five years.
In response, both the prosecution and Yoo Young-jae appealed, saying the sentencing was unfair, but it was not accepted. At the appeal trial, Yoo Young-jae admits all charges and reflects on themHe appealed, and Yoo Young-jae also made a final statement, saying, `I bow down to the victim and apologize.' but could not avoid prison time.
