Source: Yonhap News via Nate

38 year old man was given a 5 year prison sentence for the habitual sexual assault of a mentally handicapped 15 year old, who he met on an internet chatting site. He force fed her alcohol and then sexually assaulted her.

The court ordered an additional 80 hours of counseling, his personal information be available in public records for 5 years, and that he wear an electronic anklet for 10 years.

The same man has history of receiving a 1 year prison sentence and 2 years of probation for committing a "quasi-indecent act by compulsion" (anyone know wtf this means?) against a 19 year old mentally handicapped woman prior to this case.

1. [+120, 4] Repeated sexual assault and he was only sentenced to 5 years???? Could the judge have made the same decision if it was his daughter in question... What a joke

2. [+96, -3] I heard in other countries, people are sentenced to 15 years for child abuse. Sexual assault gets 5 years? Sexual assault against a mentally handicapped woman? Are you kidding me?

3. [+38, -3] The judge seems to be mentally handicapped himself

4. [+11, -2] A repeat offender... against a minor... mentally handicapped women... He obviously never learned what he did wrong and yet they only gave him 5 years? Do they think these lives are some kind of joke? Even as a man, I'm enraged, I can't even imagine how women feel. 500 years or death, anything less than that is not enough...

"If the judge hadn't given him such a light sentence to begin with, who knows whether he would've been back out and committing the same crime again? It's because they hand out stupid sentences like these that the victim remains the victim in the end. Five years later, that man will be back out repeating the same crimes again."
