Last reply since I didn't really intend to turn this into a discussion: I don't know where you're from, but where I live the age of consent was set specifically to 15 so that older teenagers would be able to have sexual relationships with other peers and not as much so that middle-aged adults would be able to have sex with them. From a legal standpoint a 16-year-old and a 46-year-old having sex with a 15-year-old will be treated the same, but from a social/moral standpoint the latter would be seen as less acceptable (not just because of the outward appearance but because of the differences in the level of maturity, life experience etc)... it's probably similar in your country And to answer your question, I have no idea. But I have at the very least not seen anything which indicates that the official story isn't true

If you look up other sources, they'll tell you she was 17, not 18. So still below the age of majority in most jurisdictions. And yes, it's true that an 18 year old or even a 17 year old is not on the same level as a seven-year-old, but it's not inconceivable at all that someone at that age could be manipulated into having sex with a 41-year-old scrote – particularly if he's in a position of power. The brain does not finish maturing until the age of 25
Child rapist and pedophile? Didn't he just have sex with an 18 year old woman that he worked with at the time?
"Back in 2002, Lee Kyung Young was arrested and tried in court for prostitution of a minor. The trial public records revealed that he “manipulated and exploited” an underage aspiring actress “L” into having sex with him in exchange for securing a role in one of his future movies.
At first, reports suggested that Lee Kyung Young had no idea about the actress being underage, however, later, other reports stated otherwise. The court ruled Lee Kyung Young innocent for the first of three occasions but guilty of prostitution for the two of the three occasions.
If you ask festival film critics, sure (no idea how he's viewed in Korea). For me both he and Kim Ki-Duk are overrated as independent film directors. Though I'd say that it's better to watch his movies and see for yourself if you truly want to find out if he's "one of the greatest"

As a result, he was given a suspended sentence to 10 months of prison with 2 years of probation, in addition to 160 hours of community service."
