Former Idol Reportedly Caught Lying About Sexual Assault After CEO Didn’t Leave His Girlfriend For Her
This case is separate from reports revealing that a different idol reported her CEO for assault.
On June 18, Seoul’s Central District Court sentenced the former idol to 18 months in prison suspended for two years. The former girl group member was also reportedly handed down 160 hours of community service.
According to the court, the fact that the former idol is still young played a part in giving her a light sentence.
The courts need to consider the life of the defendant. She is still young and is a first-time offender. I feel it would be more meaningful to give her a chance to redeem herself through community service.

Reports state that prosecutors alleged the former idol committed the crime after the CEO refused to break up with his girlfriend.
