Stalkers will now face criminal punishment regardless of a victim's consent, following a revision to the so-called "anti-stalking law" that was passed at a plenary session of the National Assembly, Wednesday.
수요일 국회 본회의에서 이른바 ‘스토킹 처벌법' 개정안이 통과됨에 따라 피해자 의사에 관계없이 스토킹 가해자는 형사 처벌을 받게 된다.

Through the revised bill aimed at strengthening punishment for stalking crimes, the Assembly decided to abolish a controversial clause stipulating that a stalker cannot be held criminally responsible if the victim does not consent to punishment.
스토킹 범죄 처벌을 강화하는 이번 개정안을 통해 국회는 피해자 동의가 없으면 스토킹 범죄자를 형사 처벌하지 못해 논란이 되던 ‘반의사불벌죄' 조항을 폐지하기로 결정했다.

The initial law legislated in 2021 stipulated that stalkers can be punished only after obtaining the permission of the victim. As a result, the law had been strongly criticized by civic groups for failing to address the core nature of stalking crimes.
2021년 입법된 초기 법안은 피해자 동의를 받은 경우에만 스토킹 범죄자를 처벌할 수 있도록 규정했다. 결과적으로 해당 법안은 스토킹 범죄의 본질을 해결하지 못해 시민 단체들로부터 강력한 비판을 받아왔다.

A lot of stalking victims tend to give up seeking punishment against perpetrators due to fears of retaliation. Because of that, many perpetrators have avoided criminal punishment after reaching settlements with the victims.
스토킹 피해자는 보복의 두려움 때문에 범죄자 처벌을 포기하는 경우가 많다. 이로 인해 많은 범죄자들은 피해자와 합의를 한 뒤 형사 처벌을 피해왔다.

"It's something that should have been done years ago. We had expressed grave concerns on the matter since the legislation of the initial anti-stalking law and repeatedly called on the government to eliminate the unreasonable clause," Song Ran-hee, head of the Korea Women's Hotline, told The Korea Times. "It's hard to welcome their belated move."
송란희 한국여성의전화 상임대표는 코리아타임스에 "이미 수 년 전에 해야 했던 일이다. 초기 스토킹 방지법 입법 후부터 우리는 심각한 우려를 표명하고 정부에 이 불합리한 조항을 삭제해 달라고 반복적으로 요구했다"며 "정부의 뒤늦은 조치를 환영하기는 어렵다"고 덧붙였다.

송 대표는 정부가 진작 적절한 법률과 예방 조치를 도입했다면 살해를 포함한 많은 스토킹 범죄를 막을 수 있었을 거라며 안타까워했다.
