Actress Nana faces a crucial legal moment today as the appeal sentencing trial is held for a man in his 30s, identified as A, who broke into her home and later counter-sued her.
The Seoul High Court’s Criminal Division 14-3 is scheduled to hold the appellate sentencing hearing for A, who has been indicted on charges of robbery and injury.
In November of last year, A infiltrated Nana’s residence in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, demanding valuables and threatening her with a weapon. Nana and her mother bravely fought back, successfully subduing the intruder before handing him over to the police.
A was formally arrested and indicted for robbery and injury last December. The first-instance court applied robbery resulting in injury charges and sentenced A to 7 years in prison. Dissatisfied with the ruling, an appeal was filed, and prosecutors have maintained their initial demand for a 10-year prison sentence.
Controversy erupted when A took legal action against Nana, the victim of the original crime. A claimed that he sustained injuries to his neck during the struggle and filed a criminal complaint against Nana for attempted murder and special assault.
A alleged that Nana had stabbed him with a weapon found inside the house and attempted to coerce him by offering money if he claimed responsibility for bringing the weapon. However, police thoroughly investigated the claims and dismissed the charges last January.
