"They have even filed an appeal, claiming the sentence imposed in the first trial was excessive."According to the agency, the defendant is committing secondary victimization by sending letters to various broadcasters and media outlets claiming their innocence. Furthermore, they counter-sued Nana for attempted murder and robbery and assault, leading Nana to also sue the defendant for false accusation.The agency explained, "The investigative authorities conducted a thorough investigation, including interviews with witnesses and forensic analysis of mobile phones," and "As a result, based on the judgment that the defendant's claims are all clearly false,' the defendant was indicted for false accusation and is currently awaiting trial."The agency also stated that during this process, it was revealed that the defendant had committed numerous other crimes besides this incident. The prosecutor in charge reportedly commented, "I have met tens of thousands of criminals over 20 years, but it is rare to see someone who has committed such a variety of crimes as the defendant. They fundamentally lack a sense of law-abidingness, do not know how to reflect on their wrongdoings, and are very adept at active lying."The agency emphasized, "We hope that the artist and their family, who have suffered severe damage from this incident, will no longer suffer from false claims and secondary victimization." "We will continue to do our best to protect the safety and mental well-being of our artist."Previously, Nana subdued a robber who broke into her home in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, in November last year and reported it to the police. The man was sentenced to seven years in prison in the first trial in June for charges including robbery and assault, and is currently undergoing an appeal.The following is the full official statement from Sublime.Hello. This is Sublime.Our artist Nana and her mother suffered severe damage due to a robber who broke into their home with a weapon in November last year.A year has passed since the incident occurred.The criminal facts were proven through a thorough investigation by the investigative authorities, and the first-instance court also found the defendant guilty of "robbery and assault."However, despite numerous pieces of evidence and witnesses, the defendant is still repeating clear false claims that "they did not enter with a weapon," without any sincere remorse or apology to the victims, and has even filed an appeal, claiming the sentence imposed in the first trial was excessive.Not stopping there, the defendant is continuing their lies and false claims by sending letters to various broadcasters and media outlets stating their innocence. This not only causes confusion to broadcasters and media outlets with claims that differ from the facts but also constitutes continuous secondary victimization of the victims.From the day of the incident to the present, both the victims and the agency have been seriously concerned about the possibility of retaliation or recidivism by the defendant, who shows no remorse.Furthermore, the defendant has even engaged in inhumane and immoral behavior by counter-suing our artist for attempted murder and robbery and assault.In response, our artist immediately sued the defendant for false accusation. Subsequently, the investigative authorities conducted a thorough investigation, including interviews with witnesses and forensic analysis of mobile phones. As a result, based on the judgment that the defendant's claims are all clearly false,' the defendant was indicted for false accusation and is currently awaiting trial.Moreover, during the trial process, it was revealed that the defendant had committed numerous other crimes besides this incident. The prosecutor in charge also commented, "I have met tens of thousands of criminals over 20 years, but it is rare to see someone who has committed such a variety of crimes as the defendant. They fundamentally lack a sense of law-abidingness, do not know how to reflect on their wrongdoings, and are very adept at active lying."We hope that the artist and their family, who have suffered severe damage from this incident, will no longer suffer from false claims and secondary victimization.We will also continue to do our best to protect the safety and mental well-being of our artist.Thank you.subin7134@tf.co.kr[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]
