GEORGE TOWN: The mute Korean pastor who was charged with two counts of outraging the modesty of two men at Butterworth two weeks ago, is facing a similar charge at the Magistrate s Court here.
However, the charge was not read to him before Magistrate Rosnee Mohd Radzuan as there was no international sign language interpreter available.
Jee Jon-Hun, 54, was charged with using criminal force against a 40-year-old victim by touching his private parts, hugging, kissing his cheek and lips with the intention to outrage his modesty at a house in Gelugor in 2000.
The charge under Section 354 of the Penal Code provides for imprisonment of up to 10 years, a fine, caning, or both.
