A terrible court decision regarding child-rape in Korea has horrified the world by contradicting their jail sentence decision.

Literal Translation
Court 'has remorsed deeply' ... Rapist Who Sexually Abused a Mentally-Ill Teenage Girl Released in Court Apeal
The court of Korea announced release of the rapist who sexually violenced a mentally-unstable teenage girl in probation reversing their decision of 3-year sentence.
The reason included that fact that the rapist washed the victim with warm water and showed enough regretting attitute during trial.
Seoul's head justice announced probation of 4 years instead of 3 years of prison sentence to the culpit Lee(54)

- 살인하고 시체 토막내고 그 자리에서 반성한답시고 바늘로 꿰메면 잘도 용서해주겠다 ㅅㅂ.
Translation : Then the court will forgive me when I stitch back the corpse I chopped up? WTF?
Personal Comment
I have always thought that punishment of Korea is too light to actually 'punish' the culpits. By only looking at this article, you can realize that the orignal decision of 3 year sentence was not enough in American's perspective; and I myself, Korean, also cannot understand this so-called 'cotton-bat punishment'. As you know, Korea is a divided country that requires a mandatory 2 year service for every young man. Citizens of Korea are also concered about the condition of prisons that are better than that of military's. Recently, a photo was released of a prisoner watching his private television is his cell with his pet! As you can clearly see, Korea is emerging as 'the best country for criminals to live' and am also certainly concered although I'm living in America.Picture source : http://m.pann.nate.com/talk/327153482?currMenu=talker&order=RAN&page=2
