Former NCT member Taeil receives prison sentence for sexual assault
Moon Tae-il, who was once part of K-pop group NCT and NCT 127, has been sentenced to three years and six months in prison for aggravated sexual assault.
In June 2023, Taeil and two others assaulted an intoxicated foreign woman at a Seoul residence.
All three confessed during their trial.
Ex-NCT member asks for leniency, SM confirmed his involvement
On July 10, the court took Taeil into custody due to flight risk concerns.
He must also complete a 40-hour sexual violence treatment program, have his personal info publicly disclosed, and is banned from working with kids for five years.
During sentencing, Taeil expressed regret and asked for leniency.
Prosecutors had pushed for a seven-year sentence given the seriousness of the crime against a foreign national.
SM Entertainment confirmed his involvement in the case and that he left NCT in August 2024.
