[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] Employees of the Seoul Geumcheon-gu Office who are accused of sexually harassing a female colleague and aiding and abetting the act have been brought to trial.

The Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office Women and Children Crime Investigation Division (Chief Prosecutor Gong Bong-suk) announced on the 23rd that on the 16th, they arrested and indicted Mr. A and Mr. B on charges of special quasi-forcible molestation under the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, and Mr. C on charges of aiding and abetting special quasi-forcible molestation.
