South Korea to chemically castrate repeat child rapist

South Korea will chemically castrate a repeat sex offender who raped children in the country's first use of a recently implemented law.

The Justice Ministry's Forensic Psychiatry Deliberation Committee had unanimously adopted the measure after concluding that the rapist, known by the surname Park, already determined a pedophile, was highly likely to prey on children again, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Park, 44, was due to be released from prison in July after serving a 10-year sentence for the attempted rape of a 10-year-old girl.

According to the ministry, he molested and raped four girls age 9 to 10 between 1984 and 2002. He had been frequently in and out of prison in that time, and in 1991 kidnapped and repeatedly raped a 9-year-old girl over four days.

Chemical castration, already in use in Germany, Sweden, and some US states, prescribes hormone suppressants to suppress the libido of serial rapists by reducing the production of male testosterone.


This needs to be implemented in every State!

    Totally agree!!

    @2ndbutfirst, I agree. I think it should be a case-by-case basis.

    And I think people who purposely murdered people should die also.

    Wouldn't we SAVE MILLIONS of tax dollars?

    @caroline8_p, which is why the US needs to bring back firing squads. Let them be convicted in the criminal justice system by a jury of their peers and off them. All the money we would save...and we would have a GUARANTEED drop in crime rate.

    The countries that implement these kinds of punishments have much lower crime rates than countries that don't!

    @caroline8_p The death penalty costs more than life imprisonment.

    I think this is awesome and should be done everywhere!

    A gun and some ammo doesn't @EzrasMommy. ;;)

    Make the appeals process a year maximum, no 12 years until execution. Upon sentencing, they get taken to be executed by a firing squad. Would be incredibly cheaper.

    We are too overpopulated anyways. Survival of the fittest. Life isn't fair.

    Fly them to a country that doesn't have a "hard time" killing murderers, molesters & punishing theives of any sort.

    A country that began as a colony of convicts and aboriginals is bound to throw out some interesting characters even generations later
