A man in his 20s arrested for stalking his ex-girlfriend apprehended again as a suspect in the act after 4 months

Arrest Warrant Dismissed by Court

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A man in his 20s who received a provisional measure for stalking his ex-girlfriend was caught again by the police for the same crime.

On the 26th, the Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul announced that they had booked a man in his 20s, Mr. A, on charges of violating the Stalking Punishment Act and trespassing.

Mr. A is suspected of attempting to trespass by climbing over the wall of his ex-girlfriend Ms. B's house at around 11:10 p.m. on the 22nd.

A nearby resident spotted Mr. A trying to climb over the wall and reported it to the police, who arrested him in the act.

In May, Mr. A was also booked on charges of visiting Ms. B's house every day for two weeks, knocking on the door, and installing a spare mobile phone and a voice recorder on the window frame.

At that time, he was subject to provisional measures 1, 2, and 3, including a ban on approaching within 100 meters and a ban on approaching via telecommunications, but he committed the same crime again after four months.

The police applied for an arrest warrant for Mr. A on the 23rd, but the court dismissed it, stating there was no risk of flight or evidence destruction.
