SEE ALSO: Ryu Shi Won admits to illegally tracking his wife during first court hearing

Seoul Central District Court reasoned, "If you listen to the contents of the recorded CD which [Ryu Shi Won's] wife submitted, you can hear sounds of slapping skin. It appears that he slapped her face very lightly... It has also been acknowledge that during the heated argument with his wife following his installing of the illegal tracking device, he hurled insulting remarks and mentioned that he could get people to watch her.

"Even if the chance of him putting his words into action is very slight, from the victim's point of view, it is enough for her to feel fear... Even if he is her husband, there is no urgent need to install illegal tracking equipment on her car and cellphone, so it can not be seen as a justifiable act."

Ryu Shi Won and Ms. Cho tied the knot in 2010 and filed for divorce in March 2012. Ms. Cho then filed a complaint to the police against her husband for threats and assault against her. In response, Ryu Shi Won filed his own lawsuit against her and accused her of trying to stir things up to have things swing her way for their divorce settlement. The two are still in the midst of trying to work out a divorce settlement.
