The Incheon District Court sentenced 33-year-old teacher "A" to two years imprisonment for assault and child abuse. She was also mandated to attend 120 hours of a child abuse program.

The judge said of teacher A, "The defendant should have watched over the safety and health of the children of the daycare as a teacher. Instead she lost their trust in the serious crime she committed." He also added, "I also considered the victim's suffering as a high level of abuse, as well as the lack of agreement between the defendant and the prosecution." 

Meanwhile teacher A has acknowledged the CCTV clip was her to the media; however she has denied the prosecution's charges of emotional abuse.

The court, however, said of the remaining charges, "When we look at the age of the victims, the act was severe and excessive. The act was equivalent to inflicting emotional abuse and affecting the emotional and physical health of the victims."
