Do you know about the “Cho Doo-soon Case?” In 2008, a 6-year-old man, Cho Doo-soon, did a terrible nameless sex crime in Ansan, South Korea. He tried to lure an eight-year-old girl to a nearby restroom in the church. The girl resisted him, so he hit her face with his fists and bit her cheek.
▲ The picture of Cho Doo-soon`s face on present day Cho Doo-soon grasped the girl's hair and pushed in the toilet. He did suffocating torture and choked her into unconsciousness. While she was in unconsciousness, he ejaculated to the girl's anus and ears. He raped her anus and vagina. To wash his semen in her ears, he pushed her head into the toilet and washed her face with the toilet water. He used a plunger to extract her organs, and he washed them with toilet water, too. Then, he pushed her organs into the anus with a plunger by force. Therefore, the girl's anal sphincter and the skin between her anus and vagina were completely destroyed, and her organs were coming out.
This horrific criminal, Cho Doo-soon was released from prison after serving his sentence time. Everyone tried to prevent his release, but there was no way to stop it. The more surprising fact is that he was sentenced only to 12 years of imprisonment because the court cited mental and physical weakness under the influence of alcohol. People resented because of the lenient ruling, however, everyone could not change the court’s ruling.
The little victim who was just eight years old when she suffered this horrific sex crime, is suffering from many problems until today. First, because Cho Doo-soon destroyed her organs, she needed eight months of treatment and underwent surgery to implement an artificial anus. Therefore, she is suffering from a serious stress disorder. Also, she suffered from depression so she took regular treatment in a psychotherapy center. She got permanent and severe damage to her reproductive systems. However, above all things. the big reason which makes her scared is Cho Doo-soon’s release and his plan to live close to her house. She and her family decided to move to another city. but she is not satisfied because there are no people who understand her conditions well like the present.
