"Not a Gold Digger"... Female Passenger Demands Taxi Driver to Touch Her Body View original image

The passenger, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly demanded that he turn off the black box while on the way to the destination. A refused, saying he could not turn off the black box arbitrarily, and struggled with the passenger who kept asking to turn it off.


Upon arriving at the destination, the passenger made an absurd demand to have her body touched. When A refused, she grabbed his arm and pulled him toward her thigh.


The passenger insisted, "I'm not a gold digger," and continued to demand to be touched, but eventually got off after A persuaded her.


A later filed a complaint along with the black box footage capturing the incident.



The police analyzed CCTV footage around the location where the passenger got off and identified the woman in her 20s. They plan to summon her soon to investigate the exact circumstances of the incident and are considering whether to apply charges of forcible molestation.
