Korean Man Sentenced to 18 Months in Jail for Using Offensive Language
It seems like this guy needs to see a psychologist instead of going to prison:
A man is to face jail time for sexually harassing a call service operator working for a telemarketing company.
The man, identified as Park, age 49, had initially requested to be connected to a specific line, when the operator explained such services could not be provided.
Park then started lashing out at the operator in foul language, using words “objectifying women,” according to Yonhap News Agency.
He was reported to have called 9,982 times since May last year, using offensive speech.
Various other workers at the telemarketing company also said they felt “humiliated.”
The Seoul Central Criminal Court sentenced Park to 18 months in prison after finding him guilty of sexual violence and work disturbance on Oct. 15.
He is sentence also included 80 hours of mandatory participation in a program on sexual violence. [Korea Times]
To me it is amazing that a guy that did not commit a violent act was convicted of sexual violence and sentenced to 18 months in prison just because he used offensive speech over the telephone.

As he averaged 19.3 calls per day over the last 17 months, I doubt he had time to do anything else… He must have pushed the wrong buttons with an angray ajumma one too many times…
