A man in his 60s who confined and assaulted his girlfriend after getting back together with her has avoided prison time thanks to the victim's forgiveness.
The Jeonju District Court announced on the 29th that it has sentenced A (63), who was indicted on charges including special injury and special confinement, to 1 year and 2 months in prison suspended for 3 years, along with 200 hours of community service.
A was indicted for assaulting his girlfriend, B (53), with a weapon and a liquor bottle at his home in Wansan-gu, Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, at around 1:30 a.m. on September 20 of last year.
After severely injuring B's head and face through the assault, he tied her hands with a cable tie and confined her in the master bedroom for more than half a day until 5:40 p.m. on the same day.
A committed these acts just 10 days after promising his girlfriend, who had previously notified him of their breakup, that he would change and asking to get back together.
The court stated, "Considering the nature, methods, and frequency of the crime, the defendant's culpability is extremely poor," but added, "However, the sentence was determined by taking into account that the victim reached an agreement with the defendant and does not wish for his punishment."
