 Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 12:38 am Post subject: Another light sentence for a sex offender |
 |
|
Something really needs to be done about the laws regarding sentences for sex offenders. This is getting ridiculous:
| Quote: |
ULSAN - With much of the nation already rattled over the rape of 8-year-old girl, news has emerged that in August a local court in Ulsan gave a father a two-year sentence for sexually abusing his own daughter. Both the 12-year-old victim and the man�s ex-wife are asking for harsher punishment.
After Ulsan District Court handed down its sentence to the father, surnamed Lee, 45, at the first trial in August, Lee appealed to a higher court, asking for a reduced sentence. The man was indicted on the sex assault charges in March.
...
Lee had allegedly abused the children for up to three years, Kim said. Whenever one of Lee�s children visited him alone, he showed them pornographic videos. They were forced to disrobe and were sexually molested.

| Its unfair to show the other side of the story. Maybe that man was drunk and he was punishing them for getting bad grades in school. You know, out of love and stuff. |

If you're that concerned with light sentences for child molesters, then write your representatives back home. Plenty of light sentences back home for you to be outraged and complain about. For example, Mark Hulett, was sentenced for 60 days for having sexual contact with a girl, beginning when she was 6, over a four-year period.

Complaining about Korean laws while being an immigrant guest worker is pointless and futile. Direct your energy to where it might do some good.
BTW, in the U.S., one in three girls and one in six children are sexually abused before the age of 18. The average serial child molester has between 360-380 victims in his lifetime. Only 2% of the Catholic clergy sexual abusers were ever jailed. The number of victims reported were 10,667 with an estimate of 4,392 abusers. These stats are from the Parents for Megan's Law website. |

No bias there. They can spout any stats they like, but there is no way that one in three girls is molested. NO WAY. |

Those stats can't be right
1 in 3 girls sexually abused by 18
1 in 6 boys sexually abused by 18
1 in 6 children sexually abused by 18. The math is wrong.
The legal age in the states is 18 right? That means every person which has has sex before 18 has been sexually abused?
Plus for Madoka how do you know he is on an E2? could be F2, F4, F5, D8, hell he could even be on a C4 (study). |
