August 27: Sex Offenders to Wear Electronic Anklet (The Korea Times)
QuoteThe government said it will oblige certain convicted sex offenders to wear an electronic monitoring anklet from Sept. 1. The Ministry of Justice said about 300 sex offenders will be subject to the round-the-clock monitoring program. Offenders who sexually abused children aged 13 or younger and repeat offenders will have to wear the electronic gadget after a judge endorses the request from prosecutors. They will be under surveillance for up to 10 years after their release from prison. Offenders released on parole and those who receive suspended jail terms will be monitored as well.
Nathan Schwartzman offered these thoughts:
QuoteThis article fails to mention any criticism of this system so I'll just go ahead and do it for them. Most sex offenses are not committed against strangers. Someone could molest their niece or rape their girlfriend and the monitoring bracelet would go right on telling the cops that everything is hunky-dory. In fact inasmuch as these bracelets continue to feed people the mistaken perception that sexual assault is typically committed against strangers they actually undermine the efforts of victims of acquaintance crimes to get recognition. In 2006 Slate ran a very good piece on the subject: "Tracking Sex Offenders with GPS".

QuoteAccording to the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Prosecutors' Office yesterday, 6,916 convicted men will be given electronic monitoring anklets. All of them are felons who have served time since July 16, 2007, for sexual offenses. They include people who received two or more jail terms for sex crimes; people who repeated a sexual offense within five years after their release; and people convicted of sexual crimes against a minor under the age of 13.

June 13: Rapist's Anklet Fails to Prevent Repeat Offenses (Sex Offender Issues)
QuoteA convicted sex offender who was cuffed with an electronic monitoring anklet allegedly committed more sexual assaults, Gangnam police said yesterday, raising doubts on the effectiveness of the security devices. Police said the offender, identified by the surname [name withheld], had been sentenced to five years in prison in 2005 for rape and was released in October 2010. Since then, he has been on probation and has been wearing the monitoring anklet.
According to police, after he was released, [name withheld] lived in a two-room apartment arranged by a religious group, where his wife and five homeless people were already living. In his new home, police said, [name withheld] sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl, and raped a 47-year-old homeless woman three times in February and March. He also sexually assaulted the woman's 21-year-old son, who reported him to the police Tuesday. Police arrested [name withheld] Tuesday. ...

Quote... It is mandatory for convicted sex offenders to wear the electronic tags for designated periods of time after they are released from prison. They are also required not to leave their residential areas without being granted special permission to do so from their probation officers. ...
Sept 3: Murderers, Rapists May Be Placed Under Protective Custody
QuoteThe Ministry of Justice said Wednesday that it will forward the "Protective Custody" bill, which authorizes the court to place criminals under custody even after they serve their period of incarceration, to the National Assembly by the end of this year. In the bill, criminals who commit murder more than twice or sexual assault more than three times will be subject to the protective custody. ...

April 22: Convicted Rapist on Loose (The Korea Times)
QuoteA convicted rapist, identified only by his surname Park, 30, has disappeared without a trace after allegedly managing to disable his electronic monitoring anklet, according to police Wednesday. The police immediately began a manhunt for him by tracking Park's mobile phone signal, but his whereabouts are still unknown. .... Park was sentenced to six years in prison on a charge of raping prostitutes in 2006. He was previously convicted nine times of various violations. Park was released from prison in 2012 and ordered to wear an electronic monitoring anklet from last year.That's odd he was only required to wear the anklet from 2014 after being released two years earlier. I wonder what the hold up was? A paperwork backlog?

QuoteIt's possible that each of these South Korean women has regularly suffered pressure, intimidation, humiliation or physical assault on the job or in power relationships at home. The murder may have been a trigger, just as a fatal police shooting of a young black man in St. Louis triggered a resistance campaign against racism. If I were a man, I think I would be a little shocked to hear what women are saying. Of course, I probably wouldn't be shocked if I were an intelligent man.

I suppose there are a lot of things you don't know. I can teach you a thing or two. If you weren't my student, I might try something. . . ."
In real life, the professor it was based on also asked the student if she wanted to "go to a motel for some instruction."
"A lot of the wording for the sexual harassing remarks by professors is exactly as it happened. We heard the stories from students and said to each other, 'They really do hear this kind of stuff every day,'" Yeom recalled.

Stranger South Korean Things / Violence Against Women In Sout...
Last post by Peter Daley - July 17, 2018, 05:43:55 PMThis thread was started on my old site on June 27, 2016. This is one of the threads I wanted to continue after closing my old site in July of 2018. For more information about that closure, please visit my blog post on the subject.
The topic of violence against women in Korea has been in the media a lot of late due unfortunately to a spate of such crimes. Like this thread here which contains a collection of articles that explore the issue of how Korean sex offenders are monitored after release from jail, I would like to offer a similar collections of articles and opinion pieces. I have been saving links for the past couple of months, and I also have a small collection of links to older related articles. And in the process of posting these, I've come across more than a few more.
"Stranger Things" felt like a good idea for a name for my new site, but of course sexual abuse is far from unusual and not always at the "bizarre" end of the spectrum of crimes committed. Having said that, there are certainly some articles below that describe crimes that can be considered strange and downright bizarre.

Wikipedia Page of Kwon In-suk
QuoteThe news that Kwon had sued regarding her sexual abuse would "rock Korean society for months. It was shocking that a young woman would go public with an accusation that was more likely to damage her own reputation than that of the accused." Traditionally, sexual and physical abuse was considered an "unspeakable experience," but Kwon's public testimony helped reframe the issue of sexual abuse in South Korea by "recasting her experience from the 'shame of the victim' to the 'crime of the perpetrator." The acts of sexual abuse as described by Kwon led to the creation of the KWAU which would influence Korean politics in the 1990s.

QuoteThere are several messages that this judgment sends to victims of domestic violence, all of them devastating: One, domestic violence is a shameful topic that should be kept in the home; two, even if you are beaten, shut up and suffer in silence; three, it's not dignified to reveal that you are a victim of domestic violence; four, you are partly to blame in any case.

QuoteIn 2011, 22,034 rapes were reported, according to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office. Of those, 18,591 cases resulted in arrests with a total of 18,880 offenders being convicted. However, only 12 percent of those found guilty, or 2,289, were sentenced to jail time.
It is impossible to know the true number of victims in Korea, let alone the number of foreign victims, as many who are attacked ― Korean or foreign ― do not report the crime. Based on a 2010 survey by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, it is believed that the sexual crime reporting rate in Korea is about 10 percent.

"The second trial, however, changed the sentence by suspending it for four years on the basis that the victim had agreed with the criminal not to punish him."
