韩国摄理教教主郑明析性侵信徒案二审改判33年 较一审23年加重
据韩联社与路透社10月19日报道，韩国大田高等法院当天对基督教福音宣教会（通称摄理教、JMS）教主郑明析性侵信徒案作出二审判决，判处其有期徒刑33年，较一审的23年加重10年。郑明析被控在2018年至2021年间，多次对多名女性信徒实施性侵与猥亵，被害人包括外籍信徒。检方指控他利用教主的宗教地位，令信徒相信其为「弥赛亚」，从而实施侵害。一审由大田地方法院于2024年判处23年。据报道，二审法院认定其利用宗教权威对信徒的侵害性质严重，并考虑其假释出狱后再犯等因素，加重刑期。郑明析此前曾于2008年因性侵罪被判刑10年，2018年出狱。公开审判过程中，多名被害人透过纪录片与媒体披露经历，引发韩国社会对该教派的广泛关注。郑明析方面否认指控，其律师团队表示将研究是否上诉至大法院（最高法院）。
South Korean Cult Leader Jung Myung-seok's Sex-Crime Sentence Raised to 33 Years on Appeal
An appeals court in South Korea on Oct. 19 raised the prison sentence of Jung Myung-seok, leader of the Christian Gospel Mission — widely known as JMS or Providence — to 33 years for sexually assaulting followers, up from 23 years at first trial, Yonhap News Agency and Reuters reported. Jung was convicted of sexually assaulting and molesting multiple female followers between 2018 and 2021, including foreign followers. Prosecutors said he exploited his religious status, leading followers to believe he was the Messiah, to commit the assaults. The first-instance ruling was handed down by the Daejeon District Court in 2024. The Daejeon High Court reportedly found the abuse of religious authority grave and took into account that he reoffended after a previous release. Jung had earlier served 10 years after a 2008 conviction for sexual assault and was released in 2018. Victims' accounts, aired in documentaries and media, drew wide public attention in South Korea. Jung denies the charges, and his lawyers said they would consider a further appeal to the Supreme Court.
