[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] It has been confirmed that eight individuals who committed secondary harm, such as posting malicious comments against the victim of the late Park Won-soon, former mayor of Seoul, in the sexual harassment case, have been booked and are currently under police investigation.

A Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency official stated on the 4th, "Since the search and seizure, eight people have been booked," adding, "We plan to determine the presence or absence of charges through investigation." He continued, "Individual investigations of the eight have not yet been conducted," and "The number of people booked may increase."

Earlier, the victim's side filed a complaint with the police requesting an investigation into the authors of malicious posts published on websites. Subsequently, the police searched the servers of four internet communities?Clien, E-Torrent, FM Korea, and DC Inside?and reportedly secured data related to the authors of secondary harm posts and comments that insulted and defamed the victim.

Additionally, the police have booked five people so far in connection with the distribution of a 'fake complaint document' of the victim leaked online. Among them, three are directly related to the leak of the complaint document, and two are involved in its online distribution, according to the police. Their relationships have not yet been confirmed. A police official said, "Only the posters have been booked, and no summons or interrogations have taken place."
