At around 1 a.m. on the 15th, on the third floor of a college building on the Inha University campus in Incheon, a first-year student A sexually assaulted classmate B, caused B to fall, then discarded a mobile phone and fled, but was later apprehended while hiding.
At around 4 a.m. the same day, B was found in front of the first floor of the building. When the 119 emergency responders arrived after a report, B was in a weak state of breathing and pulse. After receiving emergency treatment including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), B was transported to a nearby hospital but ultimately passed away.
On the 22nd, the Michuhol Police Station in Incheon applied charges of quasi-rape resulting in death and violation of sexual violence punishment (filming using a camera, etc.) against A and sent A to the prosecution under detention.
