‘Squid Game’ Actor O Yeong-Su Has Been Found Guilty Of Sexual Assault & Sentenced To 8 Months In Prison

’Squid Game’ actor O Yeong-Su has been given an eight-month prison sentence and suspended for two years, for sexually harassing a woman in 2017. The women filed charges against O in December of 2021, after the elderly actor rose to stardom for his part in the Netflix series.

The 79-year-old was charged in 2022 with sexually assaulting a woman twice.

“The content of the victim’s journal, and the content of her counseling after the incident is consistent with what happened, and her testimonies could not have been given unless she actually experienced it,” the Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Court in Gyeonggi Province said Friday in its verdict.

The assaults took place five years earlier when O was staying in a rural area for a theatre performance in 2017, AFP reported the Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Court as saying. “O has said he will appeal against the verdict and has seven days to do so.”

The allegations were that he hugged a woman and kissed her on the cheek against her will, the Yonhap news agency reported. O has also been ordered to complete a 40 hour classes on sexual violence.

The court said it took into consideration the fact that Oh has no previous criminal records in its sentence and said it would not order his personal information or record to be revealed or restrict him from any type of employment.

Oh, who has been denying the charges, told reporters as he left court that he plans to appeal the case.
