Not sure how the sentencing compares to other rape cases in Korea... While I'm glad to see the demand for prison time and restrictions on working with minors, it seems light considering there were multiple victims and there are also illegal video and distribution. I also hope there are civil suits following the convictions so the victims can be compensated and take everything from these scums.
