Taeil is facing serious legal trouble. On July 10 at approximately 2 PM KST, the 26th criminal division of the Seoul Central District Court sentenced the former NCT member to 3 years and 6 months in prison.
Taeil was charged alongside two other defendants for aggravated assault. All three admitted to raping a female victim of Chinese nationality while she was intoxicated back in June of last year.
The court’s ruling comes with additional consequences: all three defendants must complete 40 hours of educational programming related to sexual violence and register as sexual offenders. They are also banned from working in any job related to children and youths for the next five years.
"There is concern of flight as the defendants will receive an imprisonment sentence,” the court remarked while issuing an arrest warrant for Taeil and his accomplices.
Stay tuned for updates as the situation develops.
