[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A post has been uploaded on the Blue House National Petition Board requesting a pardon for a teacher who was unfairly disciplined (reprimanded) for "damaging the dignity of a public official" after reporting sexual assault victimization to the media and others.

On the 11th, a post titled "Please consider a special pardon for a courageous teacher who has been suffering until now due to unfair disciplinary action by the Office of Education while fighting against a sexual violence perpetrator" was uploaded on the Blue House National Petition Board.

The petitioner stated, "Teacher A received treatment for depression from a famous doctor and was sexually exploited," and added, "Suffering from an exploitative relationship, A courageously filed a complaint against the doctor after hearing that 'there are more victims' and exposed the case to the media and SNS."

According to the petitioner, A visited a psychiatric clinic in Daegu for depression starting in 2015. The doctor B at the clinic was a well-known figure who gained fame after appearing on the show 'Infinite Challenge' in 2013 and appearing on numerous programs.

During the treatment process, Doctor B realized that A was experiencing 'transference emotions' and exploited this to satisfy his own sexual desires.

'Transference emotions' refer to feelings or attitudes originally directed toward significant figures in the past that unconsciously shift toward the therapist. Through this, the patient experiences feelings toward the therapist that were previously felt toward parents or lovers.

The doctor reportedly contacted patient Teacher A to propose sexual relations and engaged in sexual exploitation by booking motel rooms during counseling sessions.

Subsequently, the teacher filed a complaint against the doctor in 2018 and publicized the case through the media and SNS, but was countersued by B for defamation.

The prosecution dismissed the charge of sexual assault against a supervised person filed by A in November 2018, and in February 2019, filed a summary indictment with a fine of 1 million KRW against Doctor B for defamation.

After being notified of the summary indictment with a fine from the prosecution, the Gyeongbuk Office of Education issued a reprimand disciplinary action against A.

A opposed the fine and requested a formal trial, and in the first trial, B withdrew the complaint.

Also, A filed a retrial request with the Daegu High Court in June 2019, opposing the dismissal of her complaint, and after it was rejected, appealed to the Supreme Court.

However, before the Supreme Court's decision on the retrial appeal was announced, B committed suicide in March last year, and the sexual violence charges were closed due to lack of prosecution rights.
