An appellate court Friday upheld a jail sentence imposed on the mother of a mentally retarded school-age girl who helped her lover rape her daughter.Upholding a lower court's verdict, the Seoul High Court sentenced the mother, surnamed Hwang, 39, to four years in prison. Her lover, surnamed Yang, 38, was prosecuted for sexually assaulting Hwang's daughter and given a nine-year prison term.The tragedy began in February 2013. Discovering that the daughter had been abused by her mother, Yang took the daughter -- then 16 -- to his home under the mother's consent. But he raped her at least twice and forced her to do house chores until June last year, the court heard.Court documents suggest the man once raped the girl with her mother's help. The documents said the victim's IQ was estimated at 60-70 and she was poorly educated.
