The Busan District Court sentenced a man in his 20s to three years in prison for repeatedly sexually assaulting children under 13 at an unmanned store. Prosecutors said he approached children aged 9 to 12 from behind near the checkout area and touched their intimate body parts in six incidents last April.

The court also ordered three years of public disclosure and notification of his personal information, five years of employment restrictions at child-, youth- and disability-related institutions, and three years of probation.
