Koreans are in deep anger about a court case involving a mother and her daughter.

According to a report by Kookmin Ilbo, the Seoul High Court sentenced a 47 year old man, A, to 8 years in prison, same as first trial, for sexually assaulting his 10 year old stepdaughter a total of four occasions between 2016 and April of last year and forcing her to watch obscene video clips (porn). During investigations, A claimed to have only hit her and intimidated her, however, the victim was confirmed to have caught an STD in the process and he admitted to sexually assaulting her but only two times.

The appellate court justice stated, "he confessed to the crime and deeply regrets it. He also doesn't have a history of committing similar crimes and his spouse and younger son are in poor health."

The biological mother, B, who had remarried with A, assaulted her daughter several times to cover up the husband's sexual assaults. She reportedly tied up the daughter's hands and feet and hit her with a wooden rod after she revealed in 2017 that the stepfather had sexually assaulted her and threatened to run away. Once again, in April of last year after he assaulted her again the mother hit her and told her, "Apologize to your father and tell him it was a lie."

B was sentenced to 8 months in prison suspended for two years probation in the first trial and ordered to attend 40 hours of child abuse prevention. 

B has submitted a letter of appeal to the court and the trial will be held next month. 

1. [+14,148, -30] Aigoo..the daughter is the only pitiful oneㅠㅠ. Does this judge have a conscience?? He knows very well that ba$tard is lying. What is wrong with him, seriously??
2. [+6,972, -25] Cut off his genitals!! It's not like anyone would want this thug anyway!
3. [+4,603, -68] This is why mothers need to be careful about getting remarried with weird men when they have daughters at home.
4. [+2,424, -14] How can there be someone like that in our Korea? One or even two years with someone like that are enough to frighten anyone into bad thoughts...
5. [+1,537, -21] Cut his d**k off! Is he a dog or a human??!
6. [+999, -1] Only 8 years?? Did this judge stop and think about how that 10 yr old girl's life must've been living in that house with a mother that allowed her stepfather to sexually assault her... even gave her an STD in the process..this judge is just..
7. [+743, -0] That poor child..I feel so sad for her I can't even speak...is she her real mother? That house was more than hell...he even gave her an STD...how? Please judge it correctly.
8. [+537, -1] Hul~How can the sentence be so low?? I'm speechless...daebak. Only 8 years in prison? You couldn't give him a death sentence? Even 30 years wouldn't have been enough..but 8? That's too light.
9. [+504, -1] She'll be 18 yrs old in 8 years..that sentence is too low. Put him behind bars for life so that he never get close to her again ...ㅠ
10. [+463, -2] How are sentences so low for child sex crimes??...that little girl's wound will never heal. She can never wash away those memories ever in her life. Please....let's tighten the law and punish these ba$tards severely.
