A 24-year-old man in South Korea has been convicted for several sexual crimes – including rape.
But how was he caught? His attack was reflected on a washing machine lid and caught on security footage.
The man had already been indicted for other offenses, including the suspected rape of a former girlfriend as well as sex with a minor.
He was originally convicted and sentenced to eight years in jail in November but appealed the decision.
The high court then sentenced him to seven years, saying that it took into account the settlement that he had reached with one of the victims – and bizarrely, the fact that he had no previous criminal records.
The man was also required to wear an ankle tag for seven years after his release and has been banned from working in facilities for children, juveniles and disabled people – for only seven years, again bizarrely, and suggestive of a juridicial system biased towards men.
