Damaging objects placed at or near the other party's residence or the like |
The Sentence for Stalking
If the requirements for establishment set out above are met, a stalking offense is established and may be punished.
A person who commits an act of stalking is subject to imprisonment for not more than three years, or a fine of not more than 30 million won.
