Restaurant Employee 'Forced Molestation' Busan City Council Member Sent to Prosecution with Indictment Recommendation
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seul-gi] The Busan Saha Police Station, investigating a Busan city council member from the Democratic Party of Korea accused of forcibly molesting restaurant employees, announced on the 5th that it has sent Councilor A of the Busan City Council to the prosecution with a recommendation for indictment.
On August 5th and 11th, Councilor A is accused of inappropriate physical contact with two female employees at a restaurant in Saha-gu, Busan.
The police have been conducting an investigation since receiving the victim's report on August 12th. During the investigation, the victims reportedly complained of accompanying the suspect at drinking gatherings, being forced to drink, and unnecessary physical contact.
On the same day, the Busan branch of the People Party issued a statement condemning the two-month-long police investigation of Councilor A as a "delayed investigation." The Busan branch stated, "It is quite puzzling why the investigative agency, which should be focusing on a swift investigation and fact-finding, is only buying time for the councilor to retain his position."
