South Korea jails care home head for sexually assaulting disabled residents

A South Korean court sentenced the former director of a disabled care home, surnamed Kim, to 15 years in prison for sexually assaulting three residents at the Saekdongwon facility in Incheon. The case sparked national outrage and led to government inspections of 1,507 care facilities, uncovering 33 suspected abuse cases. An assessment by Ganghwa County suggested 20 women may have experienced sexual abuse. The facility has been ordered to close, but the process is delayed to allow residents to transition to independent living. The foundation is challenging the closure through legal action.
