A father in his 20s, who abused his 4-year-old daughter by kicking her, saying he made a toilet mistake, was also sentenced to prison in the appeal trial.
The Chuncheon District Court's Criminal Division 1 (Senior Judge Shim Hyun-geun) rejected an appeal filed by A (29) accused of child abuse and assault under the Child Welfare Act today (8th) and sentenced him to eight months in prison, just like the original trial.
In addition, like the lower court, he ordered A to complete a 40-hour child abuse treatment program and a 40-hour domestic violence treatment program, and to restrict employment for three years at a child-related institution.
Earlier, A was charged with abusing her 4-year-old daughter, B, near a convenience store in Wonju, Gangwon Province, at around 8 p.m. on November 17 last year.
Mr. A was angry that his daughter had made a toilet mistake, so he kicked her over, got her up, and then kicked her on both feet again to throw her around.
At that time, CCTV footage showed the victim, B, raising both hands to defend herself even before she was assaulted.
In addition, the indictment included charges of assaulting his wife twice in January, including swearing at her wife who tried to talk in the living room, grabbing her by the hair, pushing her and punching her violently.
