[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] A male police officer at a police station in Gyeongnam Province was suspended from duty on charges of having sexual relations with a minor of the same sex whom he met through social networking services (SNS).

According to Masan Dongbu Police Station on the 24th, Officer A is suspected of having had sexual relations multiple times at a motel with a minor of the same sex whom he met through SNS since the second half of last year.

The police received a complaint from the minor's family on May 18 and conducted an investigation, identifying multiple individuals who had sexual relations with Officer A.

In addition to Officer A, several other men are reportedly under police investigation on charges of having sexual relations with this minor.

They are understood to deny the charges, claiming "we did not know the person was a minor." The crime of statutory rape applies when sexual intercourse occurs with the recognition that the person is a minor.

The police stated, "Officer A was suspended from duty on the 24th of last month and is under investigation for the charges," adding, "We cannot disclose detailed information as the investigation is ongoing."
