Four School Violence Perpetrators Transferred to Prosecution for Bullying One New High School Student in Gyeongnam

Four senior students accused of collectively bullying a freshman in the school dormitory have been referred to the prosecution.

According to the Masanjungbu Police Station in Changwon, Gyeongnam, on the 26th, four male second-year high school students in Changwon were sent to prosecution without detention on charges of collectively assaulting freshman A from March to May.

The perpetrators reportedly called A out late at night and repeatedly subjected him to harsh acts such as beating him with blunt objects and physical punishment.

They spat saliva and phlegm on A's body, poured urine and cold water on him, used sexually explicit insults, and reportedly committed obscene acts on A's pillow.

Some even filmed A while he was using the restroom.

They threatened A with a weapon, locked him in a closet, and blew hot air on him with a hairdryer.

It was reported that they denied some of the charges during the police investigation.

The victim received psychiatric treatment and medication and transferred to another school.

Earlier, the police began an investigation after receiving a report from A's parents, held a safety measure review committee to protect A, and provided him with a smartwatch.

The provincial education office held two school violence review committees and imposed disciplinary actions on the four perpetrators according to the severity of their actions, including suspension from attendance for 6 to 10 days, class reassignment, completion of special education, and prohibition of retaliatory acts.

A thorough investigation was conducted on all students at the school, confirming that there were no additional victims.
