At a regular press briefing that day, a police official stated, "We are conducting an investigation according to procedures after receiving the complaint," and added, "We are investigating related parties and evidence relationships."


Former lawmaker Jang is suspected of sexually assaulting his secretary, Ms. A, in November 2015 when he was the vice president of a university in Busan.


Ms. A reportedly testified that after taking election posters for Jang ahead of his general election candidacy and drinking at an after-party, Jang committed the sexual assault.



The police have also secured and are analyzing text messages sent by Jang to Ms. A. In response to media reports revealing messages such as "How would my heart feel if you just leave like that," Jang's side stated, "The facts before and after are completely different. We can fully explain the relevant content."
