A Pakistani man in his forties was sentenced to seven years in prison on Wednesday for sexually assaulting two foreign children nearly two decades ago at an Islamic mosque in Incheon, South Korea. The Bucheon branch of the Incheon District Court found the man guilty of rape and ordered his immediate detention. He is prohibited from working at institutions serving children, adolescents, and the disabled for an additional seven years.
The accused is accused of threatening and assaulting the two victims, aged seven and nine, at the mosque in Incheon's Seohae district in September 2008. Prosecutors stated that the victims filed their complaints belatedly due to their young age at the time of the incident. The court determined that the victims' detailed and consistent testimonies were credible.
