[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin] A male employee who worked in the secretariat of the late Park Won-soon, former Mayor of Seoul, has been brought to trial on charges of sexually assaulting a female employee who also worked in the secretariat.

The victim is reported to be the same person who filed a sexual harassment complaint against former Mayor Park in July.

The Women and Children Crime Investigation Division of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Oh Se-young) announced on the 14th that on the 10th, they had indicted former Seoul Mayor’s secretariat employee A without detention on charges of quasi-rape causing injury.

A is accused of taking female employee B, who was intoxicated, to a motel and sexually assaulting her after having dinner with colleagues on April 14, the day before the April 15 general election.

A, who is known to have performed protocol duties for former Mayor Park for several years, was suspended from his position in April due to this incident.

Earlier, the police applied for an arrest warrant for A during the investigation, but it was reportedly dismissed by the court. Subsequently, the police transferred the case to the prosecution with a recommendation for indictment in early June.
