On the 21st, the Yeonsu Police Station in Incheon announced that Mr. A was sent to the prosecution under arrest on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act and sexual assault.

Mr. A is accused of calling over 50 female housekeepers to his residence through a housekeeping app from June until last month, giving sleeping pills to about 10 of them, and then sexually assaulting them.
