"Sexual assault charges" Jung Joon Young is sentenced to 5 years in prison and Choi Jong Hoon is sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison.
Korean singers Jung Joon Young (31) and Choi Jong Hoon (former FTISLAND, 30) have been sentenced to court for sexually assaulting a drunken woman in a group and spreading illegally shot videos.

On the 24th, the Supreme Court confirmed the court sentenced to 5 years in prison for Jung Joon Young and 2 years and 6 months in prison for Choi Jong Hoon, who were charged with violating the special law regarding the punishment of sexual violence crimes.

In March 2016, the two assaulted the victims in Daegu. In addition, Jung Joon Young was accused of sharing videos and photos that were allegedly taken without the consent of the other party in the group chat room from 2015 to 2016, and Jung Joon Young was sentenced to 6 years in prison in the first instance. Jung Hoon was sentenced to five years in prison.

In the next two trials, Jung Joon Young and Choi Jong Hoon were sentenced to five years in prison and two years and six months in prison, respectively.

At the second trial, the court said, "Defendant Chung made an effort to reach an agreement in the second trial, but no agreement has been submitted so far." Then, in consideration of the fact that he issued a document to the effect of reflecting on his actions, he decided on the sentence. "

Regarding Choi Jong Hoon, he said, "Although the agreement is favorable, we do not accept the complaint and there is a lack of sincere remorse (which is a reason for commutation)." The sentence is difficult. "

The Supreme Court upheld the decision in the second instance and finalized the decision.
