At his home in North Jeolla Province's Gimje City, 'A' is suspected of raping 13-year-old 'B' on two occasions. 'A' allegedly raped 'B' after winning her trust by giving her allowance money and presenting her with sneakers and other gifts.

The court stated, "The defendant has confessed to all of his crimes and didn't use any violence or blackmail [towards 'B']. However, considering the objectionable nature of his crime and the mental anguish suffered by the plaintiff, whether someone may claim that the sentence is too heavy or too light, we do not believe the punishment unjust."
