[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The male student accused of sexually assaulting a female student on the Inha University campus and causing her to fall to her death was sent to the prosecution on the 11th.

The Michuhol Police Station in Incheon announced that they have sent A (20), a first-year student at Inha University who was detained on charges of quasi-rape resulting in death, to the prosecution with an additional charge of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (filming using a camera, etc.).

Before being sent to the prosecution, A remained silent when reporters asked, "Do you admit to the charges? What was your intention in filming the crime scene?" in front of the police station.

When asked, "Why did you not provide aid after the victim fell? Do you have anything to say to the victim and her family?" he said, "I am truly sorry."

A is accused of sexually assaulting B, a first-year female student at the same university and an acquaintance, around 2 a.m. on the 15th in a five-story college building on the Inha University campus in Michuhol-gu, Incheon, and causing her to fall from the third floor, resulting in her death.

He is also charged with filming the crime scene using his mobile phone during the assault on B.

After B fell from the third-floor corridor window to the first floor, A is said to have discarded B’s clothes in another location and fled to his dormitory, and was arrested by the police that afternoon.

B was left bleeding for about an hour and a half after the fall and was found by a passerby around 3:49 a.m. that day and taken to the hospital but died three hours later. It is reported that B was breathing and had a pulse when first discovered.

The police considered the possibility that A intentionally pushed B and conducted various scenario-based experiments at the crime scene while reviewing the legal aspects but judged it difficult to apply murder charges.

During the police investigation, A admitted that B fell from the building and died but denied intentionally pushing her, denying the intent to murder.

Meanwhile, the police secured a video recorded on A’s mobile phone at the crime scene and added the charge of 'illegal filming.' It is reported that the video does not properly show the crime scene but only records audio.
