"What's Wrong with Touching Bar Women?"... Boasting Despite Sexual Harassment

Perpetrator Shamelessly Demands "Let It Be as If Nothing Happened"

A man who sexually harassed a female employee and a female owner at a bar one after another and arrogantly claimed, "What wrongdoing did I do?" was eventually handed over to the prosecution.

The incident was covered on the 19th by JTBC's current affairs and educational program 'Sageon Banjang' (Incident Commander). Ms. A, a female owner running a pub in Iksan, Jeonbuk, reported the incident that occurred at her establishment last December along with CCTV footage.

In the video, the man lightly tapped the buttocks of a female employee who was helping clear the table and then slyly put his hand inside her skirt. Startled, the employee shook off the man's hand and left the spot. After hearing the situation from the staff, the owner approached the man to confirm the facts. Then, the man reached out and touched the owner's body as well, committing harassment.

When the owner protested, the offending man brazenly shouted, "What did I do wrong? My friend is a police officer, I'll call him now." He even pretended to make a phone call to his police officer friend. The owner immediately reported to the police, and upon arrival, the police identified the perpetrator and sent him home.

The owner filed a complaint against the man on charges including sexual harassment and submitted her pants as evidence. It was reported that the man's fingerprints were found on the pants. Facing the risk of criminal punishment, the man came to the store with acquaintances attempting to take the CCTV footage or suddenly showed up at dawn demanding, "Please let this go."

The owner lamented, "The perpetrator still goes around saying, 'What's wrong with touching women at a bar?'" and added, "I'm afraid of bad rumors spreading because the community is small." After completing the investigation of the perpetrator, the police forwarded the case to the prosecution with a recommendation for indictment.
