Korean Man Sentenced to Seven Years In Jail After Raping Sister In Law Before Wedding Ceremony
In addition to being an odd story, I am some what surprised he actually received 7 years in jail for rape:
A Korean man was sentenced to seven years in prison for raping the sister of his Filipino wife. The man, 39, surnamed Jeon, was also ordered to receive 120 hours of sex-crime prevention education.
An appellate court in Gwangju handed down the ruling on Wednesday, overturning a lower court’s acquittal.
“The accused raped his sister-in-law who came from the Philippines to attend his wedding ceremony. It’s really a bad crime,” wrote Judge Lee Jae-kwon in a ruling statement. “The victim experienced a great deal of humiliation, shame and mental shock, which caused serious depression, stress-driven emotional disorder and chronic insomnia.”
According to court documents, the incident happened on Feb. 15 last year, three days before the wedding ceremony. The groom-to-be raped his sister-in-law after they went out together to buy gifts for wedding guests.

This story seems incomplete.
The victim is called the attacker’s sister-in-law. Her sister is referred to as his wife. The attack happened three days before the wedding ceremony. Does this mean the attacked and the victim’s sister actually got married? Didn’t the victim tell her sister what the man she planned to marry did to her?
Korea needs Jerry Springer for tales like these.
“A lower court acquitted him based on circumstantial and tangible evidence, with which it presumed the two to be in a romantic relationship.”
Hmmm…
It would be intetesting to hear the whole story and see the tangible evidence… and know a bit more about this couple, her family, and how they met.
After years of watching Filipipinas operate outside of the Philippines, there is this nagging possibility that a Filipina could be hooking up with her sister’s future husband and then playing innocent when caught.
Not saying this is the case… guy could be a massive scumbag instead of just a scumbag… but who can be sure with Filipinas lurking around the seedy corners of the internet and slinking around outside the Philippines.
Whatever the case, this Filipina isn’t going to be welcome at any family reunions after derailing the gravy train before it even left the station.
