[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] The perpetrator in the Navy female sergeant case reportedly forced the deceased female sergeant to pour alcohol as an apology. When she refused, he cursed her, saying, "If you don't pour the alcohol, you will have bad luck for three years."


According to Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the National Assembly's Defense Committee from the People Power Party, the victim female sergeant sent a text message to her parents on the 3rd, saying, "(The perpetrator) should be working, but he keeps excluding me, so I just called to report it to the unit today," and added, "I am stressed, so I don't think I can handle it."


Rep. Ha stated, "The bereaved family expressed outrage, asking if the reward for 11 years of loyal service to the country as a proud Navy member was nothing but sexual harassment and cover-up," and added, "They also said they want this case to be widely publicized so that no one else suffers the same fate as their daughter."



He continued, "It is the third month since the Air Force non-commissioned officer sexual harassment death incident occurred in May," and urged, "The incompetent Minister of National Defense, who caused the same accident despite being given a chance to change, must be immediately dismissed. The President should also offer a sincere apology first."
