                          The definition of "lurking".

Hyojeong Park, a 26-year-old South Korean woman known as 
‘Mhyochi’ on social media, was subjected to verbal and physical 
harassment while live streaming in Kadıköy, Istanbul on 
June 6, 2025.

Live broadcast showed the young woman running away in tears 
from the elderly man who was harassing her -71-year-old Yusuf Ziya 
Ağır (!), who was arrested and sent to prison for "simple sexual 
assault."

During the hearing at the 54th Criminal Court of First Instance in 
Anatolia, the defendant, Yusuf Ziya Ağır, who stated that he is married 
and a father of three, said, "I do not accept the accusation. I am thinking 
of my sick wife, I have nothing else to say." (!)

The court sentenced Yusuf Ziya Ağır to 4 years in prison for "sexual 
assault by molestation," deviating from the lower limit of the sentence 
due to his multiple previous convictions for sexual offenses (!) and his 
lack of remorse.  No reduction was applied to the sentence, and his 
detention was ordered to continue. 

Following the local court's decision, the representative of the Ministry 
of Family and Social Services and the defendant's lawyer appealed the 
decision. The 20th Criminal Chamber of the Istanbul Regional Court 
of Appeals upheld the sentence.
