[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Jung-wan] An active-duty Army captain who was arrested by the police on charges of sexually assaulting a drunken classmate while she was asleep, along with an acquaintance, has been handed over to the military police.

On the 14th, the Michuhol Police Station in Incheon announced that it had booked Captain A, a man in his 20s from the Army, without detention on charges of quasi-rape causing injury and transferred him to the military police. Meanwhile, B, a male acquaintance of A also in his 20s, was sent to the prosecution without detention on the same charges.

A and B are accused of sexually assaulting and injuring a woman in her 20s, C, who was drunk and asleep at a lodging facility in Incheon at the end of October last year.

It was investigated that A, ahead of his wedding, had a drinking party with three acquaintances including B and his university classmate C, and after moving to a second location, a lodging facility, when C fell asleep drunk, he committed the crime together with B.

Based on the victim's testimony and other evidence, the police determined that the other two men present at the scene did not participate in the crime.

During the police investigation, A and B denied the charges, claiming "we had consensual sex with C," but it was reported that C recorded audio of A and others confessing to the sexual assault immediately after the crime and asking for forgiveness.

A police official stated, "After investigating the two individuals identified by the victim as suspects, they were respectively handed over to the military police and the prosecution."
