K-Pop Stars Sentenced to 5-6 Years in Prison for Gang Rape
One of them filmed the incidents and then distributed the recordings.
A South Korean court sentenced K-pop stars Jung Jun-young and Choi Jong-hoon to 6 and 5 years in prison, respectively, for the gang rape of drunk, unconscious women. This is reported by the BBC.
Jung was also charged with filming the assault on video and then distributing the footage. Both men will have to complete an 80-hour course of treatment for sexual violence, and they are permanently barred from working with children.
The judge said that 30-year-old Jung raped women who "were drunk and unable to resist," filmed them naked and having sex, and then distributed this in a group chat. He added that Jung apparently viewed the victims merely as instruments of pleasure.
In his final statement, Jung, who became known through a televised talent show, said: "I deeply regret my foolishness and feel great remorse".
Two pop stars once joked about gang-raping women with their friends, and now they are in prison. Police said they found Jung's video while investigating a group chat in which some Korean musicians exchanged such recordings and supplied prostitutes to potential business investors.
