South Korean twin sisters were sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for three years, for cheating on school exams with the assistance of their father, a teacher at their school.
SEOUL (Bernama-Yonhap): South Korea ’s Supreme Court on Tuesday finalised a one-year prison term, suspended for three years, for twin sisters on charges of cheating on school exams with the help of their father, who was a teacher at their school, Yonhap News Agency reported.
The twins were indicted on obstruction charges for cheating on exams as freshmen at Sookmyung Girls' High School in Seoul by illegally accessing exam answer sheets in advance through their father on five occasions between 2017 and 2018. The defendants had denied their charges, but a district court found them guilty of all charges in the indictment, handing out a one-year and six-month prison sentence, suspended for three years. The appeals court reduced the sentence to a year, suspended for three years, and the top court upheld the lower court's decision, citing no errors in the ruling. The twins' father, surnamed Hyun, who was indicted earlier on the same charges, was given a three-year sentence by the Supreme Court in March 2020
