On the 17th, Jeju Police Agency announced that they had arrested and sent paramedic A (30), affiliated with Jeju Fire Safety Headquarters, to the police on charges of quasi-rape. A is accused of telling his intoxicated colleague B, after a company dinner in late November last year, "I will take you home," lowering B's guard, and then sexually assaulting B upon arriving at B's home.

After receiving B's report, Jeju Province conducted an internal investigation and determined that A had committed a crime, leading to A's suspension in December last year. Subsequently, the case was referred to Jeju Police Agency for investigation. During the police inquiry, A reportedly mostly admitted to the facts but denied the charges on the grounds that the sexual intercourse was consensual.

Meanwhile, on the 11th, the police applied for an arrest warrant for A, citing concerns over evidence tampering, and the next day, on the 12th, the court issued the warrant. A was sent to the prosecution on the 15th.

According to Article 301 of the Criminal Act, 'Rape and Injury or Infliction of Injury,' a person who rapes a victim shall be punished by life imprisonment or imprisonment for not less than five years. If the perpetrator was armed with a weapon or other dangerous object at the time of the rape, or if two or more persons jointly committed the rape, the punishment is increased to life imprisonment or imprisonment for not less than seven years.
