Four teachers and administrators jailed for sexual abusing at Deaf school.
SEOUL, South Korea -- In 2006, Teachers were convicted of raping or sexually molesting at least eight students, ages 7 to 22 at a South Korean School for the Deaf.
Due to the country's lenient sentencing for sexual abuse, only two of the four officials served jail time. The case received limited attention at the time, but a new film based on the story has helped to fuel the nation's growing outrage in South Korea.
The New York Times reports that Dogani or The Crucible, which was released about a month ago, has now been seen by 4.4 million people, or nearly one in 10 South Koreans.
The case could have been largely forgotten if it wasn't for a newspaper intern who blogged about the trial. After one official at the Inhwa School for the hearing impaired was sentenced to only a year in jail for raping a 13-year-old girl, a Deaf man sitting in the courtroom screamed and tried desperately to express his anger through sign langage.

As The Economist puts it, the response to the film has been "nothing short of earth-shaking." The film has inspired South Koreans to express their anger over a legal system that routinely allows those convicted of sex crimes to walk free.
Six people were indicted in the Inhwa case, and two of the perpetrators went to jail for less than a year. Another two were given a suspended sentence, and the others were acquitted because the statute of limitations on sex crimes had passed.
This disturbing outcome was typical, according to a report issued last year by South Korea's education ministry. Most teachers found guilty of sex crimes are sentenced to a salary cut and a short suspension... Read The Full Story.
