[아시아경제 최은영 기자] The appeal of the stepfather and mother, who raped for 11 years, was dismissed by assaulting and intimidating the minor stepdaughter.
On the 2nd, the first criminal division of the Changwon Tribunal of the Busan High Court (Judge Jin-seok Kim) appealed to Mr. Park (52), who was sentenced to 25 years in prison under the court below for 11 charges, including special quasi rape, relative rape by relatives, and rape of adults under the age of 13 Has been dismissed.
Along with this, he maintained 12 years in prison for his mother, Kang, 53, who helped Park’s crimes.
In June 2006, Mr. Park sexually harassed his stepdaughter, who was 9 years old, at his home in Gimhae, Gyeongsangnam-do, saying, “Dad can touch his daughter’s body.”
Then, in 2007, he raped his stepdaughter while his mother was watching. Park continued the crime, saying, “Because you have a strong sexual desire, you have to release your sexual desire with your father.” In 2009, he raped his 13-year-old stepdaughter with his mother.
During the trial, the stepdaughter said, “Only in this way I could go out and receive pocket money,” he said. “To my friends, I rather boasted that my dad bought me something delicious and gave me pocket money. Otherwise, I would not be able to survive.”
Sexual assault continued even after her stepdaughter became a college student in 2015, and in 2016, she even had abortion surgery. Later, with the help of acquaintances around him, he went to an investigation agency.
Park protested at the trial, saying, “I only had sex under agreement,” but the court did not accept the arguments of the parents.
The first trial court ruled, “Despite the duty and responsibility to protect and nurture a stepdaughter so that her stepdaughter can grow properly as a protector, she forsook this duty and committed a crime against humanity.”
Stepfather Park and mother Kang said, “There is no fact that the victim has committed sexual acts such as harassment or adultery by using the victim’s psychological inability to protest. However, after the victim became an adult, they only had sex by agreement 6 to 7 times. “I appealed.
In response, the Court of Appeals said, “The crime is very serious in light of the content, method, and duration of the crime by assaulting, raping or similar rape using the victim’s psychological inability to protest.” “I went through the extreme pain of being denied all over my life.”
