On April 17, photographer Rotta (Choi Won Seok), who was charged for suspicions of sexually harassing a model, received a prison sentence of eight months by the Seoul Western District Court and was immediately taken into custody. He was also sentenced with 80 hours of educational sessions regarding sexual violence as well as a three-year employment restriction in any work related to children and youth.

Rotta is a well-known photographer who has worked with many celebrities. Previously, he was accused of sexually harassing a model during a photo shoot. During the trial, Rotta argued that there was implicit consent by the victim, but the court denied his argument.

The court of justice stated, “His initial testimony was that there was no form of sexual harassment, but then he changed his statement during the prosecution investigation saying that there was physical contact with the victim’s consent. However, the victim’s testimonies have been consistent.”

not long enough

umm was the model he assaulted underage because they're going to need to teach him not to do these things to people of all ages? still the prison sentence is not long enough. he needs to know there will be real consequences for doing what he did. the industry should also shun him. it took them long enough too. even his photoshoots looks pedophilic af

I opened this with a big smile on my face which immediately slid off to the floor when I saw it was only 8 months.
