Prosecutors appeal over rape case verdict
Oct. 22, 2015 The Korea Times
The Supreme Court will review the case of a man, 46, who was found not guilty of raping a teenage girl, Yonhap has reported. Prosecutors appealed the Seoul High Court's "not-guilty" ruling on Thursday.But the nation's highest court is unlikely to change its stance on the case, which it has reviewed before, legal sources said.
The man, identified only as "A" and owner of an entertainment company, was indicted for allegedly raping a middle school student 27 years his junior.According to evidence given at lower court trials, the man had sexual relations with the woman, identified as "B," many times and got her pregnant in 2011. "B" was 15 at the time."A" was indicted after "B" reported to police that she was raped."A" was found guilty at the first and second trials.But last November the Supreme Court overturned the lower court's decision, as "A" kept insisting he had loved "B." It sent the case back to the lower court, which ruled on Oct. 16 that he is not guilty of rape.
