Back in February of 2019, Ms. B had filed a report against Mr. A for sexual assault. Mr. A, who happens to be Ms. B’s father-in-law sexually assaulted his daughter-in-law only three months after she got married and moved into their home. It was also further revealed that Ms. B had been struggling with a mental disorder at the time of the sexual assault and Mr. A took advantage of her condition. “Mr. A knew that his daughter-in-law struggled with a mental disorder and would forget his words so he proceeded with the assault.”

When Mr. A was asked for a comment regarding the case, he stated that “his only crime was loving on his daughter-in-law.” However, the court found him guilty after receiving the case. The Gwangju District Court shared that,

Mr. A made his daughter-in-law, who was struggling with a mental disorder, the target of his sexual desires. He failed to notify family members of the damage he caused and instead, went to get a prescribed erectile dysfunction drug. He committed the sexual assault with even more power.

It hasn’t even been 3 months since she moved into her in-laws home when her dreams and hopes were crushed. She hasn’t been able to shake off the mental distress she received.
