時事新聞:韓國將化學閹割戀童犯
South Korea is set to carry out the chemical castration of a serial rapist later this week, CNN reported.
據美國有線電視新聞網報道，本週晚些時候，韓國將對一名強姦慣犯進行化學閹割。
The drug treatment is intended to suppress sexual impulses and does not require the convict's consent.
此種藥物處理會壓抑人的性衝動，執行起來也無需得到犯人許可。
The sex offender, surnamed Park, has been convicted on four counts of rape or attempted rape on young girls since the 1980s.
20世紀80年代以來，樸某曾先後4次對女童實施強姦或強姦未遂。
"Sex offenders over the age of 19, who have sexually offended against children under the age of 16 and are diagnosed with pedophilia, can be subject to such treatment," a Justice Ministry official said Wednesday.
韓國法務部官員週三表示：“化學閹割適用於那些年齡在19歲以上的罪犯，他們患有戀童癖，因爲對未滿16歲兒童進行性暴力而獲罪。”
