Here are a few translations of Korean articles published Feb. 18, 2018, the day of Jeong's released. I've made a few small edits to clarify some details, but generally I left the translations alone. They're not perfect, but I think they get the job done. I use Google and Naver's translation site as using both helps clarify confusing passages. Sometimes Google and Naver translate passages better than the other. I'll ask some friends during the week to clarify any confusing parts.
This first article summarizes the convictions and history quite well.
정명석은 왜 징역 10년을 선고받았나 Why was Jeong Myeong-seok Sentenced to 10 Years in Jail?The Christian Missionary JMS (Jesus Morning Star) named the year 2018 "the year of resurrection of hope and joy." It is meaningful that the year when the general chairman Jung Myung-seok (73) was released from his ten-year sentence was expressed as "the year of resurrection".
Jeong Myeong-seok was sentenced to six years in jail and ten years in jail for the first time in 2008, when he was admitted to sexual violence against four female members. In 2009, the Supreme Court confirmed the appeal and was imprisoned in prison.
Kyung-gyu said that JMS serves Jongmyeong as the Second Coming and Messiah. One of the many Christian heresies, JMS, received public attention because of Jung's sexual violence. The withdrawal revealed that Jung is constantly engaged in sexual violence against the goddesses who believe in him as the Messiah.
Chung Myeong-seok escaped to Taiwan after being charged with assault by a number of rape suspects since 1999, and took refuge in Hong Kong and China. In 2002, he was nominated for an Interpol red request at the request of the Korean prosecutors. He escaped from Hong Kong to China. He was arrested in China in May 2007, and was forced to return to Korea in February of the following year.
The so-called goddess of Jeong Myeong-seok was so bizarre that it was expressed as a ' Ten years ago, it was rare to be sentenced to 10 years in prison for sex problems in a social atmosphere. Semi-rape, compulsory rape, rucksack rape, rape and homicide.
On February 18, Jeong Myeong-seok was released from Daejeon prison after finishing 10 years of prison time. Based on the court's written judgment and the circumstances at the time, <News and Joey> looked at why he was sentenced to a 10-year term.
"Victims who followed me like the Messiah
Using anti-extraterrestrial sex abuse "
In 2009, the Supreme Court confirmed the conviction of Jeong Myeong for crimes committed outside Korew. All of them are sexual violence when he is out of the country. Five victims appeared in the judgment. Of these, four people finally recognized the damage by the court.
According to the verdict, the victims believed Jeong to be "the Messiah and obeyed his absolute authority." During the trial, Jeong said that he was not a Messiah through legal statements and handwritten statements. But this was only to reduce sentencing, and the believers actually believed him to be Messiah, Lord of the Second Coming.
Victims A and B are sisters. Jeong brought A and B to Hong Kong in early 2003. When he told me not to tell anyone that he was going to Hong Kong, the sister deceived her parents and left. Jeong used his sister, who was obeying his absolute authority, to relieve his lust.
Jeong Myeong-seok raped the two women in turn. Jung insisted in a prosecution investigation that he called two people to Hong Kong, took a massage in the room, and laid arms and legs on both sides, but insisted, "There was no rape." However, the court did not accept that Jeong's defense.
The court noted that the two were "unable to protest" at the time. The court ruled that "the victims regarded Jeong as the Messiah, and their relationship with the defendant, who absolutely adhered to his authority, and the apartment in which the damage occurred, were in a state of considerable difficulty to resist psychologically in light of the fact that there were only a few believers who believed in Jeong- It is significant. " The court acknowledged the fact that Jeong Myeong-seok's crime (a crime committed by adultery or abuse using the state of mental or physical loss or non-repudiation of a person).
Jeong was arrested in Hong Kong Immigration in July 2003 when he was in the red for Interpol. Jung, who had been released after bail, was stowed in China on a boat. Victim C met Jeong in April 2006 in China. Jeong was forced to go to the bathroom alone with C, forced C to take off her underwear, and forced sex.
The court said that the act that Mr. Jung made by Mr. C believed Jung as a Messiah like A and B, and that Jung 's threatening to the victim by saying and act was also assault and intimidation enough to make the victim' s difficulty of diving
(?).
There was one peculiar point in the trial process. In the first trial, only sexual violence against three victims was sentenced to six years' imprisonment, but the appellate court also acknowledged the damage of another complainant, D, and sentenced him to further four years.
D was molested while staying in Malaysia in 2001. Jeong Myeong-seok molested D by saying, I have a doctor's license and I will examine you through God, so I will give you a gynecology test. The first trial court judge was not guilty, saying, "We can not admit that Jeong threatened her enough to make the victim's protest difficult."
However, the court admitted that at the time of the damages, it was difficult for the victim to resist because of the mental confusion she was in due to people around her. Jung Myeong-seok made a decision on the sex contact of a member who believes he was a special position religious leader, and Chung (63), who was convicted by the court in his first year of age.
In addition to being sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment, Jeong Myeong-seok has indicted two women who withdrew from JMS and has been indicted for damages.
Even in Korea, Jung Myeong - seok has been recognized in the court for the rape of the goddess. Seven women who withdrew from JMS claimed damages in 2000, claiming damages. The lawsuit lasted eight years, and four judges agreed with Jung and two other judges, including one who has expired the statute of limitations, have been awarded damages of 10 million won and 50 million won, respectively.
According to press reports and judgments, Jeong is believed to be a Messiah and is a sex offender who uses his faith to fill his lust. However, the JMS believers believe that Jung was misled and misled. The brochures produced by JMS include the following: "Religious biased trials influenced by press and broadcast public opinion, prejudicial judgment by free autism without evidence," "no definitive evidence of guilt, no evidence of innocence, The result of neglecting the basic principles of the trial ".
2012 goddess 'naked video' ripples
"In jail letters, 'evergreen' designation"
Heresy experts should be careful "JMS Forbidden"
JMS received public attention again in 2012. This is because the retired people who served as JMS core executives held a press conference in March 2012, claiming that Jeong was also influential in prison. Jo Kyeong-sook, who has been active in JMS for 26 years, said that various women groups exist in JMS and the women who are prepared as the bride of Jeong are called "evergreens" and "JMS is a word of sexism".
They said JMS sent a female profile to Jung Myeong-seok and Jung sent a letter of handwriting in jail and chose an evergreen directly. The profiles released by retreats include a photograph of a candidate in a bikini and personal information. Some of them are minors. In the video that was released at the press conference, the young statues of the young goddesses were called "Lord", "Honey" and so on.
JMS said that some of the goddesses built their own videos, never been involved in the denomination, and never sent them to Mr. Jeong. They contended that the former members used the video for public opinion and could not be a testimony to their sincerity.
Jeong Myeong-seok came out of the car in front of the entrance of the Daejeon jail by riding a silver-colored foreign car.
However, detainees and heretics experts worry that if Jeong is released, he will commit sex crimes again. Kim Jin-ho, who served as the director of JMS, said, "The women who are selected as evergreens are waiting for Jongmyeongseok to be released.
In Japan, the harm of JMS is serious. Dr. Kawashima Kenji, a professor of pseudo-religious studies in Japan who visited Korea last year, also diagnosed that "the crimes of Jung Myeong-seok are related to the doctrine and thus the likelihood of re-punishment is high."
JMS believers are not only in Japan. Last May, a New Zealand press reported that JMS was recruiting young women at schools, shopping malls, and so on. If you search on YouTube, you can find the testimony of Americans and Australians who follow Jeong.
The specialist media in the Christianity group report that JMS propagation should be cautious. Before the release of Jeong, Jung-moo said that the Christian Gospel Missionary is looking for tall and pretty female college students to take to Jeong.
