40 Year Old Impersonating Females to Meet Lesbians on a Dating Site is Charged with Attempted Rape

Through a Smartphone App used by lesbians, Mr. A (45) impersonated a female to meet Ms. B (21) on March 19th. When they met in person in a parking lot in Daejon, Ms. B realized that Mr. A was really a man and after denying his advances, Ms. B sued Mr. A of blackmail and rape.



The judge stated that "The defendant had used an application to impersonate a female and contacted Ms B with the intention of raping her, the nature of which is bad." and "It is not important in delivering the assessment of the case what the level of the violence or intimidation was, rather in what the agreement was with the victim." Accordingly, on the 11th of November, the Daejon District Court convicted Mr. A (45) of attempted rape with a one and a half year sentence with a stay of execution of two years. Furthermore, he must do 80 hours of community service and 40 hours of therapy.
