'Dogani' conviction upheld

Seo Man-gil, right, head of the alumni association of Gwangju Inhwa School, talks in sign language after the Supreme Court ruled on a verdict in a rape case involving a disabled student, Thursday. The top court upheld a high court conviction which sentenced a 65-year-old former administrator at the school to eight years in prison for sexually assaulting an 18-year-old deaf student in April 2005. The case was later made into a film “Dogani.” / Korea Times photo by Shim Hyun-chul
