A man in his 30s accused of 'fluid terror' against women on the subway sent to prosecution

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] A man who secretly left contraceptive devices containing his bodily fluids on unspecified women while roaming subway stations in the Seoul metropolitan area was caught and handed over to the prosecution.

The Gangdong Police Station in Seoul announced on the 12th that they had sent Mr. A, in his 30s, to the prosecution earlier this month without detention on charges of property damage and violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (indecent act in a crowded public place), among others.

Mr. A is accused of placing contraceptive devices containing his bodily fluids into the bags or clothing pockets of women at various subway stations in Seoul and Hanam, Gyeonggi Province, over approximately seven months starting around November last year.

During this period, a total of 10 reports of victimization were filed with the police: 3 at Gangdong Police Station, 2 at Jungbu Police Station in Seoul, and 2 at Hanam Police Station in Gyeonggi.

Analysis of the bodily fluid components by the National Forensic Service confirmed that the perpetrator was the same individual.

The police tracked Mr. A through closed-circuit television (CCTV) and arrested him on the 15th of last month in Jung-gu, Seoul. The court dismissed the police's request for Mr. A's detention warrant.
