Another sexual violence victim in the late Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon case, the court admitted that Mayor Park was sexually assaulted. Both the power of the people and the Justice Party criticized the ruling party’s existing response and urged the prevention of recurrence.
On the 14th, Seoul Central District Court’s Criminal Agreement Department 31 (presiding judge Jo Sung-pil) sentenced A, a former Seoul Mayor’s secretary office employee, who had been accused of sexually assaulting a victim in April of last year, to three years and six months in prison and arrested him in court. The court did not accept Mr. A’s claim that the victim suffered a post-traumatic stress disorder due to sexual harassment by Mayor Park Won-soon, not this case. However, “the victim received a nasty text message from Mayor Park Won-soon, a photo of wearing underwear, etc.,” he said. “It is true that the victim suffered considerable mental pain from Mayor Park’s sexual harassment.”
Justice Party spokesman Cho Hye-min said, “This is the first time a court decision has been made (on the suspicion of sexual violence in Mayor Park Won-soon). I hope that the results of the investigation by the National Human Rights Commission that will be announced soon will also be a response to victims.” “The victim took courage to sue Mayor Park Won-soon, but his death prevented even the opportunity to be legally recognized, and the second attack was widespread, centering on Mayor Park’s aide.” “I mentioned and admitted it.”
Spokesman Cho asked, “Is the police who terminated the investigation without mentioning any facts that were identified even though they were investigated for five months? Is it impervious? Is it possible to stop the Gender Specialist Lim Soon-young, who was dismissed today due to the expiration of his term?” “Aren’t you ashamed of Democrat In-soon Nam, who was busy avoiding responsibility, saying that questions and leaks are different? Is it enough for Democrats to prepare for by-election?” “Citizens will remember this process clearly, time. There should be no further secondary abuse. “He emphasized.
In an oral commentary, spokesman Yoon Hee-seok of People’s Strength also said, “The truth that the President and the government and ruling party have turned away is finally recognized by the court today.” He said, “If you look back at the ruling party lawmaker who took the lead in protecting women’s human rights, raising the perpetrators and standing at the center of the Nth assault, today the court’s judgment itself has a heavy meaning.” Euihim will do its best to clarify the truth until the day when the victim’s pain is healed,” he added.
