  "summary": "A court in Seoul has sentenced the director of a care facility for individuals with severe developmental disabilities, identified only as Kim, to 15 years in prison for sexually assaulting multiple residents. The Seoul Central District Court found Kim guilty of sexually assaulting three residents and injuring one who resisted an assault with a glass cup. While the court deemed the victims' testimonies credible, it acquitted Kim of raping another resident, though it found the offense violated the Act on Welfare of Persons with Disabilities. The court emphasized the need for stringent punishment for sexual offenses against people with disabilities, who are socially vulnerable. Kim has been banned from working at institutions serving children, adolescents, and the disabled.",
