Men sentenced to 5, 10 years for raping teen



A 42-year-old man, Park, started a 10-year prison term Thursday for raping a high school student after hitting his victim in a car crash in Seoul eight years ago.

The Northern Seoul District Court also sentenced Park’s colleague, 42-year-old Shin, to a five-year term for similar offenses against the 17-year-old girl. The court also ruled that personal information of the two men including their names, photos and addresses remain public for 10 years.

According to the court panel, the two convicts raped the girl on the way to a hospital when they caused the accident on a road in northern Seoul in February, 2004. They drove the victim with her leg injured in the back seat to a nearby resort, saying, “We will drive you to a nearby hospital.”

“It is inevitable to punish these criminals severely,” the panel said. “They committed very serious crimes because they raped the crash victim at a secluded amusement park, and did not take the injured girl to a hospital.”

The victim refused to forgive them and Park showed no remorse over his actions, instead he made excuses for them, the panel added.

차로 친 것도 모자라 성폭행까지… 충격

교통사고를 내고 사고 피해자인 여고생을 성폭행까지 한 남성에 징역 10년의 중형이 선고됐다.

서울 북부지법 형사11부(부장 김재환)는 교통사고를 당한 여고생을 성폭행한 혐의(특수강간)로 기소된 박모(42)씨와 신모(43)씨에게 각각 징역 10년과 징역 5년을 선고했다고 24일 밝혔다. 또 10년간 박씨와 신씨에 대한 정보를 공개토록 했다.

재판부에 따르면 박씨 등은 2004년 2월 서울 수유동의 한 도로에서 교통사고를 내 A(당시 17세)양이 다리에 부상을 입자 "병원에 데려다 주겠다"며 승용차 뒷좌석에 태우고 가다 성폭행했다.

재판부는 "자신들이 낸 교통사고로 인해 다리를 다친 피해자를 치료해 주기는커녕 오히려 인적이 드문 유원지로 데려가 성폭행한 것은 죄질이 매우 불량하다"고 밝혔다.

이어 "피해자로부터 용서를 받지도 못했으며 박씨의 경우 자신의 잘못을 뉘우치지 않은 채 변명으로만 일관하고 있는 점 등에 비춰 엄한 처벌이 불가피하다"고 양형 이유를 설명했다.
