A woman who is afraid of her husband who was sentenced to prison for domestic violence meets Seo Jang-hoon and Lee Soo-geun.
On today‘s (7th) KBS Joy’s ‘Ask Anything’ Episode 311, a woman who is afraid of retaliation from her husband who committed domestic violence due to severe hypochondria appears.
The woman, who revealed that she is going through a criminal trial and divorce suit due to her husband‘s domestic violence, asks for advice after her husband, who committed high-level domestic violence, was sentenced to a lighter sentence of ‘6 years in prison’, including water torture, threats and injuries with sharp tools, and having her ear torn. She is afraid of retaliation after being released from prison.
Two to three years after marriage, the man began to assault the woman and her husband’s acquaintances, and in 2020, he made her kneel with her child under the pretext of the child‘s schoolwork, and even used everything he could get his hands on, such as curtain rods and fly swatters, as tools of violence.
When Seo Jang-hoon asked, “Why didn’t you resist?”, she explained the situation at the time, saying, “I tried resisting and tried to stop it, but it only got worse.” Here, when the storyteller tells of her husband‘s violence that got worse and worse, even remembering the date, Lee Soo-geun listened with a pitiful heart, saying, “You remember everything, down to the date.”
When she explained that her husband’s violence began because she had a delusion that he was having an affair, Seo Jang-hoon and Lee Soo-geun expressed concern, saying, “It‘s a delusion...” and “He’s not in his right mind.” She said that although she fainted from the water torture and violence, her husband resumed his violence after regaining consciousness with a portable oxygen respirator, and when he was taken to the hospital, he was diagnosed with a six-week recovery period. Lee Soo-geun is surprised and says, “Six weeks of pre-treatment is equivalent to being injured in a major traffic accident.”
The husband‘s violence was able to stop after the eldest child reported it, and the prosecutor demanded a 12-year prison sentence for the husband, who had been charged with seven crimes resulting from the violence, but he was sentenced to six years in prison because his letter of reflection and tearful appeal were reflected.
Lee Soo-geun advises her, “You’ll be sending a lot of letters from prison,” and “Never be shaken,” and cheers her on, saying, “You have to be a strong mother.” Seo Jang-hoon also advises, “Inform the local police station of the situation and prepare to defend yourself preemptively.”
Her story of worrying about retaliation from her husband who committed domestic violence after his release from prison can be found on the 311th episode of ‘Ask Anything’, which airs tonight (the 7th) at 8:30 PM on KBS Joy Channel.
