The Suwon District Court sentenced civil servant A to six years in prison and accomplice B to two years in prison for extorting a total of 1.5 billion won over six years by deceiving an intoxicated workplace colleague into believing he had committed sexual assault. The victim was exploited for his tendency to experience memory loss after drinking and his preference for women's company. Civil servant A extorted money by threatening to report sexual assault, while accomplice B played a role in introducing 'honeytrap' women to the victim and encouraging him to drink with them and go to motels. The court determined that A's criminal nature was highly reprehensible and showed no remorse, but considered B's admission of guilt, remorse, and partial restitution to the victim when determining the sentence.
