A female monk has received a suspended prison sentence for injecting methamphetamine at a temple in North Jeolla Province.
Judge Lee Jae-hwan at the Incheon District Court on Wednesday gave the monk, 60, a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, for injecting 0.1 grams of the illegal drug on two occasions ― in December 2016 and in March this year.
The judge also ordered her to take a 40-hour substance-abuse therapy program.
The monk said she suffered depression for a long time and promised not to make the same mistake.
