[News] Crown J sentenced on assault charge


On December 7th, singer Crown J has received his verdict from the Seoul Central District Court and sentenced two years probation for assaulting his former manager. He will receive eight years in prison if he violates his parole.

During the final hearing, the court stated, "Although the defendant pleaded not guilty, the investigation revealed that the defendant was indeed guilty."

Last year, Crown J with the help of an accomplice, had assaulted his ex-manager and forced him to sign a memo that required him to pay for a yacht worth over 1 billion won at a coffee shop in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam District.

Crown J insisted that the signing of the memo was a voluntary choice from his ex-manager and has denied all charges. However, the court gave out its verdict stating Crown J guilty on the charges of forcing his manager to sign over the yacht but deemed him as innocent on other charges.
