How do you punish a narcissist?

6 months without attention.

Way to go South Korea

On the 15th, Criminal Division 1 single-judge panel Judge Park Ji-won of the Seoul Western District Court sentenced Somali, who was charged with interfering with business and distributing fabricated sexual videos under the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, to six months in prison and 20 days of detention, and ordered a five-year employment restriction at institutions related to children, teenagers, and people with disabilities.

I feel like he should definitely be in there longer than 6 months, but I also have no idea what hard labour in a South Korean actually looks like

They're kind of saving him IMO. He had a bounty on his head to track him from people that don't seem to fuck around.

It's most likely factory work

Slavery is never justified, but this guy certainly makes a hard argument for it.

It looks average I guess. I know Japanese prisons are some of the worse of any 1st world nation, so I kinda assumed SK would be similar. The documentary could also be putting a more humane angle then it deserves.

Sounds like he'll be put in a cell with about 4 other people, unless there's a need to isolate him. He'll probably get isolated in a week after his cellmates beat his ass.

This is also hard labor and this boy is soft as hell. He will not be having a good time.

Well, they probably want to make the message clear, while also not spending too much money on him.

Every day he is in their system he is costing them money.

I've never heard of this kid but wow his Wikipedia page certainly doesn't paint him well.

April 15, 2026, the Seoul Western District Court found Ismael guilty of all charges and sentenced him to six months of prison labor, 20 days of detention, was forced to register as a sex offender in Korea which also means he must register in the United States upon completing his sentencing and return to the country or face up to 10 years in prison.

Who's got money on another 10y for failing to register in the US?

Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 142d (1 reply)

He'll be pardoned.

No, no, silly. Trump doesn't pardon black people unless they have a 9 figure net worth.

Sex offenders aren't punished in the US; they're promoted to government.

I... i wasn't aware you could be banned from kick.

IntrovertTurtle@lemmy.zip · 20 pts · 142d (1 reply)

He was...kickbanned.

Puts shades over aged eyes.

op me!

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 142d

That is a HUGE understatement. It's as close to calling someone a shitbag as Wikipedia can get.

Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 27 pts · 142d

He also has to register as a sex offender in the US upon his eventual return.

ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online · 14 pts · 142d

Fuck him. How on earth do you push your luck that far after what he did in Japan?

IDraw4u@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 142d

Haaaaahahahhahahahah

Maybe a little bit of hard work clears up his mind

You are sentence to clean trash off the sides of highways and beaches.

Ohhh I love this for him! It couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.

I wonder if his fellow inmates know about the bounty on Johnny Somali Ramsay Khalid Ismael. Will have to see if there's a commissary account where they can receive payments from strangers.
