One of the two middle school students 'A' charged with "gang rape" has denied charges.
A filed a binding appeal with the court claiming that the test conducted by the National Institute of Scientific Investigation did not conclude his DNA was on the victim's body. He reportedly denied some of the charges during police investigation.
Judge Kim Ji-hee from Incheon District Court reject the request stating, "There is no reason for the suspect to seek a binding review after a detail exam was conducted on the victim."
In the meantime, petition filed by the victim's mother has been signed by over 350,000 people.

- [+367, -0] As a student this makes me scared to run into any middle or high schoolers in secluded areas..
- [+304, -3] Those ba$tards will keep doing it if they not punished properly. Just because they're young doesn't mean they didn't know what they were doing. People that lack morals and ethics at such a young age will never change for the rest of their lives. We need to make sure there are no more victims in the future.
