Jeong Myung-seok, the leader of the religious group JMS who is currently serving a 17-year prison sentence for sexually assaulting female followers, has been sentenced to an additional 33 years in prison for further sex crimes.

The Daejeon District Court found Jeong guilty of charges including sexually assaulting and harassing female followers at a training center in Geumsan-gun, South Chungcheong Province, and other locations over a five-year period starting in 2018, and sentenced him to 33 years in prison.

The court determined that Jeong deified himself, placing the followers in a psychological state where it was difficult for them to resist him.
