[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Three individuals, including A (15, female), who collectively assaulted a classmate for allegedly speaking ill of them, are scheduled to be sent to the prosecution.


On the 20th, Cheongju Sangdang Police Station announced that they will send three people, including A, to the prosecution on charges of group assault against a classmate (special injury, assault, etc.).


On the evening of the 29th of last month, around 7 p.m., in a residential area of Sangdang-gu, A and others are accused of assaulting the arms and legs of their friend B (15, female) and burning parts of her body with a cigarette ember.


At the scene, there were a total of seven students, including A, and it was investigated that four of them did not directly participate in the assault.


They reportedly told the police that "B spoke negatively about them," which was the reason for their actions.



A police official stated, "We have called both the victim and the perpetrators and completed all investigations," adding, "We plan to send the case to the prosecution with a recommendation for indictment within this week."
