Former bodyguard LUDA arrested one year after hitting woman who asked him to move her car (South Korea)

A former bodyguard who assaulted a woman who asked him to move her car was sentenced to prison and detained in court. Judge Hong Jun-seo of the Incheon District Court announced the sentence on the 31st.
At the trial, Defendant A (39), who was indicted on charges of joint assault under the Act on the Punishment of Violence, etc., was sentenced to two years in prison and detained in court.
Prior to this, the prosecution had requested the court to sentence defendant A to three years and six months in prison.
Judge Hong said, "Looking at the testimony in court and the related evidence, I can confirm that the defendant is guilty," and added, "The defendant, who was an athlete, unilaterally assaulted a victim who was physically unable to defend himself."
"I have no choice but to impose a prison sentence, taking into consideration the actions of the defendant and the fact that he committed these crimes," he said. After the sentencing, in response to Judge Hong's question about whether he had anything to say, Defendant A replied, "I have caused controversy in society and I really don't want to say anything.

"After this incident, the defendants operated businesses in Seoul, Gangnam and Incheon.
"He closed down the two gyms he was working at and gave up all the profits he made from YouTube and other channels," he said. "He moved from one rental property to another due to unpaid taxes, but he made a huge amount of money, totaling 100 million won (approximately 11.34 million yen)."
In this case, Defendant A reportedly submitted a petition of 75 pages and appealed for leniency. However, when given the opportunity to speak in court, Ms. B's husband said, "I have not yet
