Threatened to expose the fact that I had an affair... Victim complained of extreme stress
 

A man in his 50s was sentenced to prison for threatening and even assaulting his mistress for several years after she broke up with him.

On the 11th of last month, the Jeju District Court sentenced Mr. A (53), who was indicted on charges of causing injury, to one year in prison.

Mr. A was indicted on charges of hitting his face several times around September 2020 when he became enraged by his mistress B's request for a breakup. At the time, it was revealed that Mr. A committed this act while fighting over his affair.

Afterwards, Mr. A went to the store run by Mr. B and made a fuss by breaking the door lock and yelling. In addition, it was confirmed that Mr. A broke into Mr. B's vehicle without permission, damaged the black box, stole the memory chip, and used a location tracking app to monitor his private life.

At the trial, Mr. A denied most of the crimes, saying, “It is unfair because there are many things that are different from the facts.”

The court sentenced Mr. A to prison based on the facts of the damage. The court ruled, “The defendant is complaining of injustice from the investigative agency to the court, but looking at the submitted evidence, he is judged guilty.” “There is no reflection or common sense explanation from the defendant, and the motive for the crime and the circumstances surrounding it are very bad.”

Attorney Park Yong-du of Daeryun Law Firm, who is Mr. B's legal representative, said, "Mr. B has already tried to escape from Mr. A several times, but he was bound to fail every time. Mr. A continued the relationship by gaslighting (psychologically controlling) Mr. B," and added, "Mr. B, who suffered physical, mental, and property damage from Mr. A, is complaining of pain to the extent that it is difficult to live his daily life. As a result of proving the damage on behalf of Mr. B, the perpetrator can be severely punished. “There was,” he said.
