On the 17th, MBC released the indictment of Mr. A, who was arrested on the 4th on seven charges including sexual assault, confinement, and special threats.


According to the indictment, Mr. A confined Ms. B, a woman he had been dating for about a year and a half, for five days last month. During the confinement, Mr. A shaved Ms. B’s head with clippers and forced her to use a diaper pad for defecation.


He also sexually assaulted Ms. B and filmed her naked, repeatedly threatening her by saying, "If you run away, I will distribute the video," and "I will throw acid on your face."


During the confinement, Mr. A took Ms. B out, but due to continuous threats such as "Pretend to be affectionate," and "If you don’t come, I will kill the dog and smear you with its blood," Ms. B was unable to find an opportunity to escape.


Eventually, on the fifth day of confinement, the 11th of last month, Ms. B sent a text message to her parents saying "Please save me," and was rescued by the fire department and police.


However, Mr. A denied Ms. B’s claims of victimization, stating, "All sexual relations were consensual, and the assaults happened because Ms. B wanted me to hit her."



Mr. A’s parents also stated, "This is not a murder case or theft, yet a search and seizure was conducted," and added, "It is clear that he was wrong and should be punished for acting irrationally, but this is not a heinous crime worthy of news coverage."
