Residents Fight to Keep Korean Murderer and Rapist from Being Released into their City

It is incredible that this murderer and child rapist will be released back into Korean society:

Notorious child rapist Cho Doo-soon’s upcoming release, scheduled for Dec. 13, is making the public nervous. Calls are mounting to keep him in prison forever, but will it be possible?

Below are some questions and answers about Cho and why it is so difficult to keep him behind bars within the current legal boundaries: 

What has he done?
In 2008, Cho, then 57, violently raped an 8-year-old girl in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province. After kidnapping the victim on her way to school, Cho took her to a church restroom. He choked, beat and brutally raped her. The victim was left with severe injuries which resulted in permanent internal damage. Cho was sentenced to 12 years in prison. 

He has 17 other criminal convictions dating from 1970, including sexual offenses and murder.
