The sentencing date for Himchan, who is accused of violating special laws regarding the punishment of assault on women and sexual assault crimes, will be held at a hearing before the judge (Chief Judge Sung Soo).
In April last year, Himchan grabbed a woman by the waist and touched her shoulder at a restaurant in Yongsan.
He was charged with molestation and went to trial. In May of the same year, he is accused of sexually assaulting another victim in Eunpyeong District and illegally filming and then forwarding the video.
The court is currently consolidating the two cases. Previously, Himchan was sentenced to prison in 2018 for forcibly molesting a woman at a pension.
This is already his third sexual assault crime and the public is very outraged. At the trial held on January 15th, the prosecution asked Himchan to be sentenced to seven years in prison, ordered him to undergo a sexual assault treatment program, and given personal information.
The court also requested a public disclosure order and the use of a location tracking device for three years. At the same time, ``The history of the crime and the act, the mental suffering of the victim, and the fact that he committed the crime of forcible obscene behavior again during the trial for another crime of obscene behavior.
``The impact of idol singers on young people must also be considered.''
Himchan, who attended the trial wearing light blue prison clothes, said, ``I'm sorry for causing controversy.''
I feel sorry for the victims who have been hurt and are suffering. I learned of my mistake while taking the educational program, and I ask that you do the best you can."
What kind of judgment will ``Himchan'' receive on today's (1st) sentencing date? The outcome will be watched closely.
