A man in his 60s proposed prostitution to a woman in her 20s he met for the first time, saying, ”You're pretty. Would you like to sell your body?” - South Korea

A man in his 60s has been sentenced to prison for soliciting sexual intercourse from a woman in her 20s whom he met for the first time on the street. The Cheongju District Court said on the 17th, "The man was charged with violating the law on the punishment of stalking crimes.
The indicted defendant, A (62), was sentenced to eight months in prison and detained in court. He was also ordered to complete a 40-hour stalking treatment program.
On August 10th of last year, defendant A was at a crosswalk in Sangdang-gu, Cheongju City, North Chungcheong Province when he said to Ms. B (20, female), whom he had never met before, "You're pretty, aren't you?
She was put on trial on suspicion of making sexually insulting remarks such as "You're beautiful" and "Would you sell your body for 200,000 won (approximately 22,000 yen)?"
Even after the crosswalk traffic light changed, Defendant A pursued Ms. B for about 130 meters and continued to make sexually harassing remarks.
The investigation revealed that the defendant had committed the crime twice before, and that he had committed the crime again against a young girl during his recidivism period.
Despite having received compensation, he is making unconvincing excuses to avoid responsibility." Defendant A appealed the ruling, claiming that he was not satisfied with the ruling.
