JMS leadership sexual crime prosecution

Overview

South Korean prosecutors have requested prison sentences for four high-ranking officials of the Christian Gospel Mission (JMS). The defendants are accused of aiding sexual crimes committed by leader Jung Myung-seok and coercing victims into signing documents to prevent legal complaints between 2018 and 2022.

Prosecutors sought prison terms ranging from 1 to 3.5 years. They also requested that three defendants undergo sexual violence treatment lectures, face personal information disclosure, and receive a 10-year ban from working with children and adolescents. Sentencing for these individuals is expected next month.
