One More Geumcheon-gu Office Employee Arrested for Sexual Harassment of Colleague... "Risk of Evidence Destruction and Escape"

Geumcheon District Office

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] An employee of the Geumcheon District Office in Seoul, accused of sexually harassing a coworker, has been detained. Two other employees facing related charges were also previously detained.

On the 27th, Lee Young-gwang, the chief judge in charge of warrants at the Seoul Southern District Court, issued an arrest warrant for Mr. A, who is accused of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, specifically special quasi-forcible molestation, citing concerns over evidence destruction and flight risk.

Mr. A was absent from the detention hearing held the previous day, so the warrant review was held again that morning.

Mr. A is accused of sexually harassing Ms. B, who was detained the previous day, and a female employee working at the district office. During the investigation, the police confirmed that Mr. C was present at the time of the crime, leading to additional charges and his detention the previous day.

Meanwhile, the Geumcheon District Office suspended all three employees from their positions last month.
