A man who attempted to rape a woman who had agreed to have sexual relations in return for money was handed down 30 months in prison with four years’ stay of execution on Sunday.

The man, aged 33 and surnamed Kim, became violent when the 23-year-old woman who met him at a motel room asked for the cash up-front.

The Jeonju district court said, “This crime resulted from Kim’s misguided belief that it was acceptable to disregard a woman’s sexual autonomy if she agreed to have sexual relations for money.”

Kim was also accused of taking a cell phone, worth 1 million won ($855), and the personal identity card the woman had left at the motel room upon fleeing from him.

He was also ordered to undergo 80 hours of rehabilitative sex education.
