[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] A man in his 30s who committed an obscene act in front of an elderly person in their 80s was sentenced to imprisonment.

Judge Jeong Yeon-ju of the Cheongju District Court Criminal Division 5 announced on the 27th that A (39), who was charged with committing an obscene act (public obscenity) in front of an elderly person in their 80s, was sentenced to 6 months in prison. Additionally, A was ordered to complete 40 hours of a sexual violence treatment program and was banned from working at child and youth-related institutions for 5 years.

Judge Jeong stated, "Since the defendant has a prior record for the same crime and committed the offense again during the recidivism period, a prison sentence is unavoidable."

Earlier, A was brought to trial on charges of approaching an elderly woman in her 80s on a street in Jeungpyeong-gun, Chungbuk, on July 26 of last year, lowering his pants, and committing an obscene act.

A was previously sentenced to 1 year in prison for public obscenity in September 2017 and was released after serving the full term in August of the following year.
