The Jeonju Wansan Police on Monday said the 43-year-old man, surnamed Kim, is being charged for intruding into the house of the 53-year-old victim at around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Kim allegedly punched the victim and took money and valuables worth over 1 million won ($900).
Kim has been wearing an electronic tracker on his ankle since he was convicted for a sex crime in 2007.
Upon his arrest, Kim told the police that he committed the crime because he could not get a job due to his criminal record.
