SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea sentenced a Boston man to eight years of hard labor and ordered him to pay a $700,000 fine for crossing into the communist country illegally this year, state media reported.
Aijalon Mahli Gomes, 30, was the fourth American detained by North Korea for illegal entry in less than a year.
Gomes, who had been teaching English in South Korea, acknowledged his wrongdoing at Pyongyang’s Central Court on Tuesday, North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency said Wednesday.
