Man gets prison term for raping ex-girlfriend

A 29-year-old man surnamed Ahn has been ruled guilty on the charge of raping and intimidating his ex-girlfriend by threatening to notify her parents of their past sexual relations, according to media outlet News1 on Wednesday.

Cheongju District Court sentenced Ahn to 4 1/2 years in prison and mandatory 80 hours of a sex abuse treatment program. 

The 23-year-old victim had ended her three-year romantic relationship with Ahn in late June. She reported to police that Ahn sexually assaulted her following numerous threats that he would notify her parents of their past sexual relations.

The court views Ahn’s crime as being “of gruesome nature” and that the victim would suffer from considerable psychological trauma.
