[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] A man suspected of repeatedly breaking into the home of an elderly woman in her 80s, who is suspected of suffering from dementia, and sexually assaulting her has been arrested by the police.


The Geumcheon Police Station in Seoul announced on the 30th that they have booked a man in his 50s, identified as A, on charges of trespassing and quasi-rape.


A was apprehended on the 2nd of this month on suspicion of breaking into a multi-family house in Geumcheon-gu on the 27th of last month and sexually assaulting the victim. Analysis of nearby closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage revealed that A had broken into the victim’s home multiple times during the week prior to the crime. It is reported that A has an intellectual disability.



The victim’s son, who lives with her, is said to have left the house door unlocked when going to work, considering that his mother, who shows symptoms of dementia, had difficulty opening the door by herself. The police applied for A’s arrest warrant the day before, but the prosecution requested supplementary investigation, and further investigation is ongoing.
