Couple Who Abandoned Two Biracial Babies Sentenced by Korean Court
This criminal case is just totally bizarre, basically some woman keeps getting pregnant by some foreign guy and keeps convincing her Korean husband the kid is his. This guy appears to be the ultimate simp:
A Korean couple who abandoned two infants nearly two decades ago because they “looked like foreigners” received suspended prison sentences, according to legal circles Sunday.
The Uijeongbu District Court sentenced the mother to 18 months in prison, suspended for three years, for violating the Child Welfare Act. Her husband was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for three years, for the same charge.
According to the court, the woman gave birth to her first child in 2005 while living with the man in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province.
The man, who believed throughout the pregnancy that he was the child’s biological father, realized after the birth that the baby was biracial. Concluding the child was not his, he decided to abandon the infant, and the mother complied.
The couple left the newborn on the doorstep of an orphanage in northern Gyeonggi Province less than a month after the birth.
The two reunited in 2008. The woman was pregnant with another child fathered by a foreign man, but the man once again believed he was the biological father.
After the couple legally married, the woman gave birth in a makeshift shed on a farm owned by the man’s parents. They raised the child for about a year.
As the child grew older, however, the man again realized the child was not biologically his.
Fearing confrontation, the woman fled in March 2009, leaving the child behind. The man subsequently abandoned the second child at the doorstep of the same orphanage.
