Court confirms suspended jail term for ex-parliamentary chief for harassment
By a2016032Published : April 28, 2017 - 11:30
The country's top court on Friday dismissed a former parliamentary chief's appeal of a suspended six-month jail term for sexually harassing a golf caddie.
Former National Assembly Speaker Park Hee-tae was indicted in November 2014 for inappropriately touching a 23-year-old female worker several times at a golf course in Wonju, some 132 kilometers southeast of Seoul, in September that year. Park led the parliament from 2010 to 2012.
Upholding a lower court's decision, the Supreme Court also ordered Park, 78, to receive 40 hours of anti-sexual violence education. The prison sentence was suspended for a year. (Yonhap)
