"Touch My Body" 20s Woman Prosecuted for Forcible Molestation of Taxi Driver

Refused Request, Also Pulled Arm

A woman in her 20s was indicted for sexually harassing a taxi driver in Yeosu, Jeollanam-do.

The Suncheon Branch of the Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office announced on the 24th that passenger A, a woman in her 20s, was indicted without detention on charges of forcible sexual assault for inducing physical contact by asking the taxi driver to touch her body parts.

According to the prosecution, A is accused of inducing physical contact with taxi driver B while riding a taxi from Hakdong, Yeosu City, to her destination around 1:30 a.m. on May 24.

A, who was seated in the front passenger seat, reportedly said to B, "Turn off the black box that is recording," "I'm not a gold digger," "I won't report this to the police, so don't worry," and "Do you want to touch my leg?" It was also investigated that when B refused her requests, A grabbed his right arm to induce physical contact.

However, during the investigation, A stated, "I don't remember because I drank a lot," and denied the charges by saying, "I did not seek physical contact for money."

Meanwhile, B filed a complaint with the Yeosu Police Station on July 17, about a month after the incident, claiming he was sexually harassed.

The prosecution confirmed A's forcible sexual assault through audio recordings from the black box and, after comprehensively reviewing related precedents, proceeded with the indictment.
