A rapist with no balls (for now)

South Korea is set to carry out the chemical castration of a serial rapist later this week, implementing recent legislation for the first time. The drug treatment is intended to suppress sexual impulses and does not require the convict's consent. The sex offender, identified only by his surname of Park, will be required to undergo the treatment every three months, wear an electronic anklet, and remain under scrutiny for three years. Park has been convicted of four counts of rape or attempted rape on young girls since the 1980s, according to the Ministry of Justice. This is just sick and it's about time the offenders got what was coming to them. There needs to be strengthened measures against paedophiles who are likely to repeat their actions, and if disabling their junk (or next step up: cutting the balls off) is the only way to prevent reoffending, then so be it.
