Man Arrested and Prosecuted for Consecutive Sexual Assault Attempts in Early Morning Alleyway

A man in his 30s has been brought to trial on charges of attempting sexual assault against three unknown women in the Nowon-gu area of Seoul.

The Women and Children Crime Investigation Division of the Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Lee Seonnyeo) announced on the 21st that they have arrested and indicted a man in his 30s, identified as Mr. A, on charges including attempted rape, forcible molestation, and public obscenity.

Along with this, the prosecution also requested an electronic location tracking device order, citing a high risk of reoffending.

Mr. A is accused of knocking down a passing woman in an alley in Gongneung-dong, Nowon-gu, around 12:10 a.m. on the 7th, attempting to sexually assault her but failing, and then entering a nearby restaurant in a nude state and committing an obscene act.

He is also charged with moving to another location where he touched another woman's body in a molestation act, and again attempting to sexually assault a female owner at a nearby karaoke practice room.

Mr. A was arrested on the spot by police who responded to a report.

After investigating the details with Mr. A and the victims, the police applied for an arrest warrant, which was issued by the Seoul Northern District Court on the 9th.

A prosecution official stated, "We will do our utmost to maintain the prosecution so that the defendant receives a sentence commensurate with the crime, and we plan to consider requesting treatment detention or medication treatment orders through a psychiatric evaluation of the defendant in the future."
