[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 6th, the United Future Party announced that it will file charges against former Busan Mayor Oh Keo-don, who admitted to sexual harassment and resigned, for violations of the Public Official Election Act and forced molestation, among other charges.

On the same day, Gwak Sang-do, head of the United Future Party's "Democratic Party Sexual Crime Investigation Team," and others visited the prosecutor's office in the morning to plan to file charges against former Mayor Oh, Busan City Hall officials, and Busan Sexual Violence Counseling Center officials for violations of the Public Official Election Act, forced molestation, violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, and abuse of authority.

Earlier, the investigation team held a meeting on the 3rd and confirmed the plan to file charges against them. Representative Gwak stated, "If former Mayor Oh and Busan City Hall officials used their positions to induce settlement and notarization to prevent the sexual harassment incident, which could influence the 21st National Assembly election, from being disclosed externally before the election, it constitutes election fraud or prohibited election involvement by public officials under the Public Official Election Act."
