Choi Jong Hoon Admits To Spreading Illegally-Taken Footage And Denies Attempted Bribery + Prosecution Demands Prison SentenceMar 17, 2020
by K. ZRegarding Choi Jong Hoon’s alleged bribery during a drunk driving incident back in 2016, prosecutors are recommending a prison sentence upon conviction.At the trial that took place on March 18 at the Seoul Central District Court, the prosecution recommended a sentence of one year and six months for the crime of bribery. If convicted in addition to his other charges, he would face additional penalties of being a registered sex offender, required to complete a sex offender reformation program, and be barred from working in institutes related to children and adolescents for five years.The police previously booked Choi Jong Hoon for offering 2 million won (approximately $1,778) to the officer on the scene at the time to cover up his drunk driving incident in 2016. He was also charged with sharing illegally filmed footage.In response to the recommendation, Choi Jong Hoon’s lawyer stated, “He denies the allegations of bribery, but has admitted his guilt to the remaining charges. The allegations are untrue and we intend to contest the bribery charges.”“Please consider that the amount of money was actually very small and that there was no recognition of bribery (at the time), even if there was a crime,” the lawyer added.The lawyer admitted Choi Jong Hoon’s guilt to the charges of sharing illegally-filmed footage and asked the court to “consider the fact that he did not show the victims’ faces” in the footage.Choi Jong Hoon expressed, “I deeply regret my foolish behavior and I accept my punishment for it. If and when I return to society, I will help my community not as a celebrity but as an ordinary man.”Choi Jong Hoon’s sentence for the charges of attempted bribery and spreading illegally-taken footage will be announced on the afternoon of March 27.Previously, Choi Jong Hoon was sentenced, alongside Jung Joon Young, to five years in prison after being convicted of charges of aggravated rape.Source (1)Top photo credit: Xportnews

검찰 '음주단속 금품무마' 가수 최종훈에 징역 1년6월 구형(서울=뉴스1) 박승주 기자 = 음주단속 적발 당시 현장 경찰에게 돈을 주겠다고 제의하며 단속을 무마하려 한 혐의로 기소된 가수 최종훈씨(30)에게 검찰이 실형을 구형했다.서울중앙지법 형사1단독 박진환 부장판사 심리로 18일 열린 1회 공판기일에서 검찰은 최씨에게 징역 1년6개월을 구형했다. 성폭력 치료 프로그램 이수와 신상정보 공개·고지, 아동·청소년 관련 기관 5년간 취업제한을 명령해달라고도 요청했다.최씨는 2016년 음주운전 단속 경찰관에게 '200만원을 줄 테니 봐 달라'는 의사를 표현한 혐의(뇌물공여 의사표시)를 받았다. 불법적으로 몰래 촬영한 사진을 메신저를 통해 유포한 혐의(성폭력처벌법위반·음란물 배포)도 있다.최씨 측 변호인은 "뇌물공여 의사는 부인하지만 나머지 공소사실은 전부 인정한다"며 "(200만원 발언은) 진지하게 주려는 의사가 아닌 상황을 모면하려 했던 것"이라고 주장했다.이어 "실제 최씨가 돈을 갖고 있지도 않았고 진지하게 계좌이체를 하려고 하지도 않았다"며 "죄가 되더라도 뇌물 금액이 매우 소액이고 뇌물공여 인식이 전혀 없었던 점을 양형에 고려해달라"고 요청했다.불법촬영물 유포 혐의에 대해서는 "모두 인정한다"면서도 "피해자 얼굴이 나오게 하지 않았던 점을 고려해달라"고 밝혔다.최후진술에서 최씨는 "어리석은 행동을 깊이 반성하고 이제라도 처벌을 받게 돼 홀가분하다"며 "사회로 돌아가면 연예인이 아닌 일반인으로 사회에 도움을 주며 살겠다"고 말했다.최씨에 대한 1심 선고는 오는 27일 오후 이뤄질 예정이다.앞서 최씨는 가수 정준영씨(31)와 함께 성폭행에 가담한 혐의로 1심에서 징역 5년을 선고받았다. 현재 진행 중인 항소심에서도 최씨는 관련 혐의를 부인하고 있다.parksj@news1.kr

나는 알 수 없지만
그대가 머문 그곳까지
닿길 바라본다놓을 수 없는 연이기에
더 그리운가볼 수 없고 담지도 못한
나의 그댄 어디에
인연이라 믿고 있는데
그대 맘은 어디에그대의 사랑 알게 하고

그 꽃잎 하나 갖지 못해
내 맘 시드는데잊을 수 없는 연이기에
더 그리운가볼 수 없고 담지도 못한
나의 그댄 어디에
인연이라 믿고 있는데
그대 맘은 어디에눈부셨던 그리운 그때

연연하는 그 마음 위로
그댄 늘 떠오르니사랑이란 아른거리는
그리운 마음 하나
인연이라 믿고 사는데
그대 맘은 어디에
