Prosecution sought one year in prison for the man who stalked 15-year-old trot singer Oh Yu-jin “Psychological distress”
The prosecution sought one year in prison for a man in his 60s, who was indicted for stalking 15-year-old trot singer Oh Yu-jin
The final trial for A, a man in his 60s who was charged with violating the Stalking Prevention Act and the Information and Communication Network Act (defamation), took place at the Jinju Branch of the Changwon District Court on March 5th.
Last October, the fact that Oh Yu-jin was a victim of stalking was revealed through an exclusive report by Xsports News. At that time, Oh Yu-jin’s maternal grandmother, referred to as Mrs. Yoo, directly met with Xsports News and complained about the stalking and defamation Oh Yu-jin suffered from A for several months.
A was accused of stalking Oh Yu-jin, claiming she was his daughter from May to November last year, and even going to her school. He was also accused of posting false information related to her biological father online, leading to charges of defamation. He was indicted without detention.
During the final trial this time, the prosecution requested a one-year prison sentence and an order to attend a program, considering the young age of the victim and the psychological distress suffered by the victim and her family.
A’s legal representative expressed remorse “We deeply regret that our client’s subjective belief led to these crimes” and requested leniency, taking into account the misunderstanding that Oh Yu-jin was A’s daughter.
The sentencing trial for A is scheduled to be held on April 9th.
