[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] A detention warrant for a man in his 50s who was arrested for luring minors and hanging inappropriate banners in front of a girls' high school in Daegu was dismissed by the court.

On the 22nd, according to the Daegu District Court, the detention warrant requested by the police for Mr. A (57), who is accused of violating the Outdoor Advertising Act, was dismissed.

Judge Heo Yong-gu of the Daegu District Court Seobu Branch, who is in charge of warrants, stated the reason for dismissal, saying, "It has been about 30 minutes since the criminal act was completed, and the place of arrest was the suspect's home, not the crime scene, so it was not a lawful arrest in flagrante delicto."

Earlier, Mr. A lured minors twice on the 8th and 15th in front of a girls' high school in Dalseo-gu, Daegu, using papers and banners with phrases such as "Looking for a female slave to bear children and manage the household."

The Seongseo Police Station in Daegu judged that there was a risk of reoffending as Mr. A repeated the same crime and applied for a detention warrant to the prosecution on the 16th.

The police said, "During the investigation, Mr. A appeared to have a mental illness, so he was administratively hospitalized," adding, "We plan to resume the investigation once the treatment is completed."
