'False Accusation of Sexual Crime' Witness Appearance
Lawyer Kang Yong-seok Denies Charges

Blogger 'Dodommam' Kim Mina is scheduled to appear as a witness in the trial of lawyer Kang Yong-seok, who has been indicted on charges of instigating false accusations.


The Seoul Central District Court Criminal Division 18 (Judge Lee Jun-gu) held the third hearing on the 29th morning for lawyer Kang, who was indicted on charges of instigating false accusations.


On this day, the court decided to hold the next hearing in June and to summon Kim and the accuser who filed the complaint in this case for witness examination.


Lawyer Kang is accused of having previously encouraged Kim to file a complaint against securities company executive Mr. A on charges including sexual assault.

Lawyer Kang is accused of having submitted a complaint to the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul through a lawyer affiliated with his office, alleging that "Mr. A assaulted Kim with a beer bottle causing injury when Kim resisted Mr. A's sexual assault."


The prosecution later decided not to indict Mr. A on charges of special injury and sexual assault.


Lawyer Kang denies all charges.



Previously, Kim, who was separately indicted on charges of false accusation, was sentenced in the first trial to 8 months in prison with a 2-year probation. She did not appeal, and the sentence was finalized in February.
