An adult man sexually assaulted an eight-year-old girl's sexual assault during the Joseon Dynasty. What kind of decision did King Sejong make?
The annals of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) recorded history for 427 years. In the book, the word ' rape ' is mentioned in more than 200 cases. Among them, the late King Sejong was adamant about the sexual assault charges. The rapist was hanged as the maximum punishment.
Those who tried to rape were punished in their 100th generation in exile. In particular, those who sexually assaulted minors were executed. The woman who raped a girl under 12 was hanged. There is a custom in the latter part of Joseon Dynasty. The men are forbidden to come out to the streets at 8 p.m. It is to prevent sex crimes.
Now, sex crimes in South Korea are forgotten over time.
We need to have a stern punishment from the current Chosun Dynasty era.
