3.5 Years in Prison: Supreme Court Finalizes Sentence for Former NCT Member Taeil
South Korea's Supreme Court has finalized a 3.5-year prison sentence for former NCT member Taeil for special quasi-rape. Read the details of the final verdict.
The legal battle's over, and it's a prison term. The Supreme Court has finalized a 3 1/2-year prison sentence for Taeil, a former member of the global K-pop sensation NCT, following a sexual assault conviction.
Final Verdict on Special Quasi-Rape
According to Yonhap News, the Supreme Court upheld a lower court's ruling against the 31-year-old singer on Friday. He was found guilty of special quasi-rape, a charge involving multiple people assaulting a victim unable to resist. Alongside the 3 1/2-year term, the court ordered Taeil to complete 40 hours of a sexual violence treatment program and banned him from working at institutions related to children and the disabled.
Details of the 2023 Incident
The incident dates back to June last year, when Taeil and two accomplices assaulted a foreign tourist who was intoxicated. While prosecutors initially sought a 7-year term, the court settled on a shorter sentence but ordered his immediate detention during the trial due to the gravity of the offense. This final ruling dismisses his last appeal, meaning there's no more legal room for Maneuver.
A Career Cut Short
Taeil's departure from the limelight was swift. After debuting in 2016 with NCT, his career hit a wall in August 2024 when the investigation became public. SM Entertainment didn't hesitate, expelling him from the group immediately. The agency cited the 'severity of the matter' as they distanced themselves from the former star.
