The shocking tale of an little girl known as Na-young may lead to some of the biggest changes South Korea has seen in laws on the sexual assault of children.Na-young, a pseudonym for the girl, was eight when she was abducted, beaten, raped and sexually abused by a 57-year-old man about a year ago. She lost about 80 percent of her colon and will need a colostomy bag for the rest of her life due to the damage to her internal organs, according to court records.
A few weeks ago, the assailant Cho Doo-soon was given 12 years in prison. A court said he had diminished capacity for his decisions because he was drunk, which weighed into sentencing.
The country was outraged. The president said the law needed to be changed to include life in prison and the fractious parties in the National Assembly reached a moment of rare unity in saying they would work together to increase punishment.
In my view, rape should carry a life sentence, but rape of a child should be followed by castration.

I think we can all agree that this man's penis card need to be pulled and suffer the same torture of needing a colostamy bag for the rest of his life. They could let a really drunk sado-masochist do it, maybe having a drawing among the inmates for the honor.

"In my view, rape should carry a life sentence, but rape of a child should be followed by castration."
I'm right there with you on this one. How DARE they allow the perp to use the excuse that he was DRUNK!!?? Who the hell CARES whether he was DRUNK? Surely this little girl couldn't care less whether this sick pedophile was drunk.....
