On the 22nd, JTBC released CCTV footage from the day BJ A (24), who was sentenced to prison and detained in the first trial for false accusation of sexual assault, claimed she was sexually assaulted by the CEO.


A claimed that the CEO forcibly attempted to sexually assault her in the office, and she pushed him away and fled the room. However, the CCTV footage shows A walking out of the CEO’s room, sitting on a sofa applying lip gloss, lying down comfortably, and vaping an electronic cigarette.


Three days later, at the location where she claimed the assault occurred, A was seen meeting the CEO again, appearing cheerful as she waved her arms and legs, hopped around, and even made a full turn.

The CEO’s side explained that on that day, A requested financial support for her BJ activities, and the CEO responded that he would try to provide support, suggesting that A’s cheerful behavior was due to this.


The CEO’s lawyer claimed that A’s motive seemed to be financial, asserting that A was confirmed to have told an acquaintance, "I will demand 300 million won as a settlement."


During the trial, CCTV footage was played showing A and the CEO walking out of the room together shortly after the incident, walking around the office, and embracing. The court judged A’s statements to be false based on her free behavior.


Accordingly, on the 21st, the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Division 2 (Judge Park So-jung) sentenced A (24), who was indicted without detention for false accusation, to 1 year and 6 months in prison and ordered her immediate detention.


The court criticized, "The defendant’s statements were inconsistent and did not match the CCTV footage from the time of the incident. Considering her overall attitude and position, her credibility is low," adding, "The defendant made excuses such as taking psychiatric medication or being intoxicated and not remembering."


Furthermore, the court stated, "All criminal charges were found guilty, and a sentence higher than the prosecution’s request of 1 year in prison was imposed."
