[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] The special prosecution team led by Ahn Mi-young (55, 25th Judicial Research and Training Institute), investigating the death case of Sergeant Lee Ye-ram of the Air Force, a victim of sexual violence, will meet with the bereaved family of Sergeant Lee on the 13th.

According to the legal community on the 12th, the special prosecution team will meet with the bereaved family at 3 p.m. on the 13th at the special prosecution office in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. Special Prosecutor Ahn, deputy special prosecutors, related personnel from the special prosecution team, Sergeant Lee’s father Lee Joo-wan, and the family’s legal representatives will attend.

The special prosecution team plans to listen carefully to the family’s opinions and demands regarding the investigation. The bereaved family claims that Sergeant Lee suffered secondary damage from colleagues and seniors.

Sergeant Lee, who belonged to the Air Force 20th Wing, was sexually harassed by a senior non-commissioned officer in March of last year and reported it, but on May 21, while the military prosecution investigation was ongoing, she made an extreme choice.

The Ministry of National Defense criminally charged a total of 25 people in October and prosecuted 15, but the command, which supervised and directed the military police, military prosecutors of the 20th Wing who were in charge of the initial investigation, dismissed the case citing insufficient evidence, causing controversy.
