Additionally, the court reportedly imposed a 5-year ban on Bobby working in any facilities that provide services to children, teenagers, or persons with disabilities.
The leading website reports that the Seoul Western District Court stated during the case's final judgement,"Jung filmed victim 'A's body illegally without consent, and the victim is experiencing significant mental shock and humiliation. While the victim's side is requesting severe punishment for Jung's action, Jung did not demonstrate an attitude of reflection. Taking into account that Jung did not distribute this footage to anyone, and that he has no similar offense, Jung is hereby sentenced to 1 year in prison."
In addition, the court decided that there was "insufficient evidence" to convict Jung of assaulting "A".
