[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A female police officer in Gangwon Province posted a revealing message on the police internal bulletin board, claiming she was sexually humiliated by her colleagues.


Officer A posted a lengthy message of over 20 pages on the police internal integrated portal bulletin board 'Polnet' on the 7th, alleging sexual harassment.


In a post titled "I don't want to live anymore. Please help me," Officer A wrote, "A fellow police officer and former boyfriend, Mr. B, shared stories with another colleague about having sexual relations with me, causing sexual humiliation."


She continued, "Colleague Officer C repeatedly made sexually harassing remarks, such as falsely claiming to other officers that he had slept with me. He also showed a fake motel receipt to my ex-boyfriend, Mr. B."


Officer A stated, "After seeing the motel receipt, an angry Mr. B went to the motel shown on the receipt with a colleague and illegally accessed the closed-circuit television (CCTV)." It is reported that Mr. B and others have been prosecuted and sent for indictment on charges including violation of the Personal Information Protection Act and abuse of authority.


Officer A reported all these incidents to the Office of the Inspector General, but instead, rumors have spread that she is "the employee who reported three innocent male officers."


She said, "Because of this incident, other employees have been speaking ill of me," and confessed that she has been prescribed psychiatric medication, is taking it, and is having difficulty sleeping due to chest tightness and shortness of breath.



As controversy over the post grew, the police station where Officer A works posted a message stating, "The higher authorities will conduct a thorough investigation to uncover the factual truth," and requested that employees refrain from inappropriate behavior and remarks related to this matter.
