Expected trial result for JMS Jung Myung-seok

Jung Myung-seok's arrest period will expire in April 2023. Therefore, according to the Korean Criminal Law, the first trial sentence will be made in April. Even if Jung Myung-seok extends the trial process as much as he can, if there is nothing special, the final sentence and execution of the sentence will be made before April 2024.
Jeong Myung-seok was sentenced to 10 years in prison and executed the sentence after being tried on the same charges in 2008. Considering that, I expect to receive a similar or heavier sentence to 10 years in prison for committing the same crime shortly after leaving prison.
(The Korean Criminal Law imposes more severe penalties for secondary damage, such as sadistic and perverted sex crimes, continuous sex crimes against many victims, habitual sex crimes, sexual crimes using trust relationships, and forced to reverse statements after the crime.)

 

Jung Myung-seok is expected to face a very heavy punishment, but it should be taken into account that JMS believers are still influencing all levels of society. Therefore, it is necessary to be more careful about the abuse of suspension of arrest execution during trial or suspension of sentence execution after trial.

 

 

1. Continued extension of expedient suspension of execution of sentence
Considering that there is no restriction on the number of extension of suspension of execution in the Korean criminal law, it is possible to spend the rest of your life comfortably by continuing to extend the suspension after years of self-interest. Given the fact that JMS believers are influential in all walks of life, there is a good chance.

2. The possibility of Jung Myung-seok running away overseas.

Jung Myung-seok is capable of going out of prison for suspension of execution by exploiting his influence and his 77-year-old age. And then, with the help of his followers, he can smuggle himself abroad or hide in the country.

Jung Myung-seok fled for many years because he was wanted by Interpol in 2007. And even at the age of 77, he is in good health enough to commit sex crimes against 170cm adult women, especially at home and abroad, and has tens of thousands of JMS believers who will offer absolute loyalty and help. You should be very careful about the possibility of Jung Myung-seok's escape
