Attempted Robbery with Special Aggravating Circumstances Charge

A man in his 40s who threatened a woman he did not know and attempted to extort money at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul has been indicted while in custody.

On the 5th, the Criminal Division 1 of the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Lee Jeong-bae) announced that they had indicted Mr. A (47) on charges of attempted robbery with aggravating circumstances the previous day.

Mr. A is accused of attempting to steal money by covering the mouth of a woman he did not know in the parking lot of Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, around 9:30 p.m. on the 10th of last month, taking advantage of the crowd after the game ended. The crime was unsuccessful as the victim strongly resisted.

According to the prosecution's investigation, Mr. A, who was living as a homeless person, prepared a stun gun and planned the crime to secure living expenses. He targeted women vulnerable to crime and attempted to extort money.

The police tracked him down using CCTV and a black box, and arrested Mr. A on the 18th of last month, eight days after the report was filed.

The prosecution stated, "We will do our best to maintain the prosecution so that the defendant receives a sentence commensurate with the crime."
