Now we even have a city council member arrested on charges of child prostitution.
It does not end with prostitution. The additional charges of child sexual exploitation are utterly appalling.
Despite undergoing police investigation for these very charges, Choi Young-jung went ahead and registered as a candidate for city council.
Choi claims, "I didn't know she was a minor," denying the allegations, but his mobile phone records and a acquaintance's testimony weigh heavily on the side that Choi is lying.
Currently under prosecution investigation, Choi will soon face trial in court.
The entire nation is watching to see whether the court will grant a sentence reduction based on absurd excuses such as reaching a settlement with the victim, showing remorse, or being a first-time offender.
