Another disgusting verdict in a sexual assault case.

A few days old, but here's a story out of Busan.
A father who sexually assaulted his daughter was sentenced to two years in jail and ordered to publicly disclose his personal information for five years, Sunday.

The man, identified only as Choi, 38, was found guilty of habitually sexually abusing his biological daughter for more than four years up to last October when she became an eighth grader.

``He committed sexual assaults against his daughter continuously with the abuse getting worse which left indelible psychological damage during the important period for personality development,'' the court said in the ruling. ``However, the court reduced the sentence because, though a little late, he felt deep remorse, did not have any criminal record and his wife dropped the complaint.''

HT to Korea Beat. One hell of a last paragraph there. I'm tired of seeing "However" turn up in rulings on sexual assault cases. About six weeks ago a Cheongju judge sent a teenager back to the family members who had been raping her over seven years.

Of course he felt deep remorse; deep remorse he got caught. He sincerely promises not to do it (get caught) again.

So, the daughter is still living with him?
