[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] The girl who was sexually assaulted testified that the perpetrator's house was completely surrounded by curtains, making it pitch dark, and that there were four cell phones.


According to Channel A's report on the 10th, the victim child gave detailed statements about the perpetrator's house, the crime scene, during two separate investigations.


Earlier, on the 6th, a man in his 30s took a 13-year-old child in his vehicle and drove hundreds of kilometers away, where he sexually assaulted her.


According to the child's testimony, there was lighting installed near the bed area, but the surroundings were completely blocked off by curtains.


The victim child saw a total of four cell phones in the house.


Channel A reported that besides the cell phone used to lure the victim child, the man had two additional phones used only for messaging and one extra device without a SIM card.


Before releasing the child, the man deleted all his phone numbers, call logs, and open chat contents, then gave her a new ID claiming it was a 'secondary account.'


However, once police tracking began, this ID was deleted.


It appears that multiple cell phones and accounts were used to evade police tracking.


The police suspect that the man in his 30s, who was arrested based on the victim child's testimony, may have committed additional crimes.



The child's detailed and consistent statements are expected to be used as evidence to prove guilt in the future.
