Exactly! This piece of sh#t should be sentenced to do time in prison
where the inmates havn't seen women for years. Not protective
custody either, in amongst the general prison inmates. After a few
weeks or months he would certainly have some idea of the kind of
pain and torment he inflicted on the poor little girl.

Bubba and friends would "visit" this goon in his cell and have a sex party....but in korea....i think most of the inmates will leave him alone.....what is really irking me is the judge....claiming that the guy was drunk and not responsible for his actions! And hench, a reduced sentence!
That judge needs to have Bubba and FOB's visit him for a party.

It's not completely the judge's fault. His hands were somewhat tied by statute.

It's unbelievable, I know, but it's true.

After being notified, police arrested the man. Although prosecutors sought a life sentence, the Ansan branch of the Suwon District Court sentenced him to 12 years. After that, he must wear an electronic anklet for seven years. The court said it took into consideration that Cho was drunk, and thus was �weaker mentally and physically.� Under the Korean law, when an intoxicated person commits a crime, the court can reduce a sentence.

I have no words for what that poor little girl endured, and will endure for the rest of her life. What he did to her is horrific. They treat innocent dogs a lot worse than what should happen to the beast who did this.

My wife has given me more details, as apparently it's all over the news big time now. They are not pleasant details. The man was not a Christian pastor. He talked the little girl into going to church with him, and then dragged her into a bathroom in an office building which had a floor rented out to a church group, when nobody was there. There's a special plane of hell waiting for this guy. The girl has serious physical damage but recovered consciousness an hour later and told the police, who identified the rapist from a surveillance video.

It's partly that we are so repulsed by this sickening act that we want to make the rapist suffer. Which he deserves richly; our culture made a mistake in abolishing the lash. But there is also an intent in punishment to dissuade others from contemplating such acts or from taking them lightly. Seeing this man on a public stand being flogged would probably be more of a disincentive to others than a prison sentence alone.

I agree that this poppycock of 'I was drunk at the time' is a ridiculous excuse which is simply a loophole to lighten the sentence of those with clout. I can see a distinction between a planned murder and an impulsive homicide as an act of passion. But this was a calculated act carried out by someone with multiple previous convictions. If it were a foreigner, there would be swift laws passed to prevent us teaching children and a large number of us would not be going out at night for a good while. We're always assumed to be on drugs; would 'I was high at the time' help any?
