A 42-year-old woman was indicted by the�Incheon District Court on May 4 for purchasing a newborn baby for 950,000 KRW (~$813 USD).�


The unidentified woman had bought the newborn boy from his mother at Daejeon Hospital nearly one year ago on May 18, 2015.�


The mother, a 28-year-old woman, had created an online post to sell her baby to a sterile couple, and connected with the 42-year-old who was interested in buying her son. The baby was reportedly born out of wedlock from an extramarital affair the 28-year-old had with another man.�



While the courts sentenced the 42-year-old woman to three years in prison, they were more lenient in their ruling toward the mother, sentencing her to a 10-month prison term and 80 hours of community service.�


According to The Korea Times, the courts had reasoned, "Although her act deserved condemnation for failing to show a minimal level of responsibility, we considered that she admitted to the crime and showed remorse."�
