Pakistani man gets 7-year prison term in child rape case

A Pakistani man has been sentenced to seven years in prison for sexually assaulting two foreign children, aged seven and nine, at an Islamic mosque in Incheon, South Korea, nearly two decades ago. The sentence was handed down by the Bucheon branch of the Incheon District Court, which found the man guilty of rape of minors under the age of 13.

The court also banned him from working at institutions serving children, adolescents, and the disabled for seven years. Prosecutors stated that the victims filed a complaint belatedly due to their young age at the time of the incident, and their detailed and consistent testimonies were deemed credible by the court.
