Sister-in-law who spread 'Park Soo-hong's cohabitation's rumor 'Sudden postponement' one day before the sentence of defamation charges'Sudden postponement'Trial resumed next month



The sentence for broadcaster Park Soo-hong, who was accused of defamation by spreading false information, will be canceled and the defense will resume.

According to a Star News report on the 22nd, the Seoul Western District Court's Criminal 9 alone was scheduled to hold a sentencing date for Park Soo-hong and his wife Kim Daye on the 23rd for violating the law on promoting the use of information and communication networks and protecting information. Accordingly, the court will cancel the sentence on the 23rd and resume the trial date on November 6.

Earlier, Park Soo-hong sued Lee for defamation in October last year. Lee was put on trial on charges of spreading false information such as that Park lived with a woman when she appeared on SBS 'My Ugly Baby' in a group chat room aimed at slandering Park Soo-hong.



In the first trial, the prosecution said, "The crime is not light because it defamed several acquaintances by making fatal false statements about celebrity victims in a group chat room that is easy to spread. We are not taking any measures to recover the victim's damage, and we are not denying and reflecting on the crime, so we hope that the victim will be punished strongly.", and asked for 10 months in prison.

In this regard, Mr. Lee's lawyer "There was no intention of slander against the victim"The defendant believed this to be true by combining what he witnessed and what he heard from his parents-in-law, and there is considerable reason to believe so.", he pleaded not guilty.



In his closing argument, Lee was branded as a person who embezzled 11.6 billion won in comments after getting married and staying with his children and parents-in-law for 20 years, followed by criticism against the children""My daughter is traumatized and receiving psychiatric and psychological counseling."Wept.

Then "Nevertheless, the case against us is still ongoing. It's very hard, but I'm trying to hang in there and overcome it,' he said, appealing for leniency.
