韩国一家公立残疾人护理机构主任金某因性侵机构内至少三名智力残疾居民被首尔法院判处15年监禁1。这一判决引发韩国社会广泛震动，暴露了残疾人护理机构中的严重安全漏洞。
受害者徐美贤在该机构遭受性虐待近十年，期间被强制称呼金某为"爸爸"1。直到2025年2月，徐美贤因头部受伤才向外界披露遭受的侵害1。法院认定了三名受害者的证词可信1，但对第三名受害者仅判性暴力罪而未以强奸罪论处1。金某不服判决已提起上诉并否认所有指控1。
一份大学研究团队的调查报告显示，至少十名居民可能遭到金某的性侵1，但这些指控在法庭审理中未被予以处理1。此案曝光后，韩国政府采取行动加强监管，对全国1507家残疾人设施进行检查，发现33起疑似虐待案件，已对其中8起展开调查1。此外，政府还下令成立跨部门应对小组1。人权倡导组织对法院的判决及调查过程提出批评，指出存在缺陷，特别是过度依赖沟通能力较强的受害者的证词1。
A director of a public care facility for people with disabilities in South Korea has been convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison for sexually abusing residents at the institution. 1 The perpetrator, identified as Kim, received a sentence that fell five years short of what prosecutors had requested, and he has filed an appeal while denying all allegations against him. 1
The abuse at the Saekdongwon care home in Incheon persisted for nearly a decade before coming to light in February 2025, when one victim, Seo Mi-hyun, disclosed the abuse after sustaining a head injury. 1 Seo Mi-hyun was forced to call Kim "Dad" throughout her ordeal at the facility. 1 A university investigation team identified at least 10 residents who may have been sexually abused by Kim, though the court found credible testimony from only three victims and rendered a conviction on sexual violence charges rather than rape for one of them. 1
The case has prompted significant government action in response to public outcry. 1 Authorities inspected 1,507 facilities for people with disabilities across the nation and identified 33 suspected cases of abuse, with investigations launched into 8 of them. 1 Disability rights advocates have criticized both the court's sentencing decision and the investigation process itself, particularly noting the heavy reliance on testimony from victims with stronger communication abilities. 1 The incident follows similar cases of sexual abuse in South Korean care facilities that occurred in 2022 and 2023. 1
