[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] The police have requested an arrest warrant for a man who, while under investigation for sexual crimes, entered another woman’s home and attempted sexual assault.

On the 24th, the Seodaemun Police Station in Seoul announced that they had applied for an arrest warrant for a man in his 20s, identified as Mr. A, who is accused of trespassing and attempted sexual assault the previous day.

Mr. A is suspected of following a woman in her 30s, whom he did not know, to her home in Seodaemun-gu around 2 a.m. the previous day and attempting to sexually assault her. According to the police, the victim resisted and called for help from nearby residents, causing Mr. A to flee. Police who responded to the report apprehended Mr. A in a one-room apartment in a building adjacent to the victim’s residence.

It is known that Mr. A has been under investigation for a sexual crime committed about a month ago in another district. During the police investigation, Mr. A reportedly stated that he had not consumed alcohol at the time of the crime and that “the offense was committed impulsively while walking on the street.”

A police official stated, “We have applied for an arrest warrant for Mr. A, and a pre-arrest suspect interrogation (warrant hearing) is scheduled for today.”
