South Koreans outraged over sentencing in child rape cases
October 09, 2009|John M. Glionna
SEOUL � A series of highly publicized child rape cases in which the defendants were widely seen as receiving lenient sentences has outraged South Koreans, who have called for tougher penalties for sex crimes, including the castration of repeat offenders.
The most prominent case involves a 57-year-old habitual offender sentenced to 12 years for raping a first-grader and flushing detergent into her body to destroy evidence of the crime
only 40% of the approximately 6,000 suspects investigated for child sexual abuse were prosecuted. Of those convicted, less than 1% received life sentences. Nearly half got off with fines and 30% got suspended terms, government statistics show
