Prosecutors demand death sentence for 'molar father' in killing of teen girl
SEOUL, Jan. 30 (Yonhap) -- Prosecutors demanded the death sentence Tuesday for a man charged with killing a school friend of his teenage daughter after sexually molesting her.
Lee Young-hak, 35, has confessed to killing the 14-year-old girl in late September after drugging her to sleep and committing lewd acts on her body, with sex toys, to satisfy his sexual desire.
The killing shocked the nation as Lee was publicly known after appearing on a TV show in the 2000s, which portrayed him as a poor man suffering from a rare dental disease while trying to eke out a living with a daughter who had the same incurable illness.
Lee earned the nickname the "molar father" after losing all but one molar while treating the disease.
However, it turned out that Lee had actually been living a luxurious life off donations he received from those who took pity on him after seeing him on the TV show, as well as government allowances.
