In the case of a former Seoul Mayor’s secretary accused of sexual assault on a fellow employee, the court disclosed a text message sent to the victim by the late Mayor Park Won-soon, saying, “It is true that (the victim) suffered mentally from sexual assault by the late Mayor Park Won-soon. It seems to be” he judged. The lawsuit against Mayor Park for sexual harassment was unprodicted (without the right to prosecute) for his death, but in a completely separate case, the court judged the allegations of sexual harassment by Mayor Park as true. It was because of a court battle over the cause of the victim’s post-traumatic stress disorder. The defendant in this case, Mr. Jeong Amugae, was in charge of the protocol in the secretary’s office of the mayor of Seoul. Just before the general election in April last year, he was handed over to trial for sexual assault on a drunken fellow employee and inflicting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on the victim. The victim of this incident is the same person as the victim of the alleged sexual harassment case by Mayor Park, and Jung denied the charges at the trial saying that’the cause of the victim’s post-traumatic stress disorder is Mayor Park’. As the victim said that there had been sexual harassment by Mayor Park for four years from July 2015, it was argued that the trauma of the victim was caused by Mayor Park, not his semi-rape. To prove this, Mr. Jeong applied for an order to submit documents for all the victim’s psychiatric counseling records. Accordingly, the 31st Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Court (Presiding Judge Cho Sung-pil), in order to determine whether Jung’s allegations were valid △Is mayor Park’s sexual harassment?If there was a sexual harassment, the victim’s post-traumatic stress disorder is not Jeong, but Mayor Park. It was necessary to look at whether this was the cause. Based on the records, the judge said that Mayor Park sent a picture of the victim wearing underwear and sent text messages saying’I want to smell it’,’I will tell you about sex’, and’I will tell you a man’, but the victim’s post-traumatic stress It was judged that the cause of the disability was due to Jeong’s quasi-rape tooth. A judge of the Criminal Division of the Financial District Act said, “Since the defendant claimed that Mayor Park was the cause of the post-traumatic stress disorder, the judiciary must first determine whether there was a fact of sexual harassment by Mayor Park. About) Shouldn’t we convince the defendant? As the defendant argued, there were some evidences consistent with the fact that the victim was traumatized by Mayor Park’s sexual harassment. ) It was good.” Although Mayor Park’s text message revealed at the trial was mentioned in the victim’s psychiatric treatment process, the court seems to have judged it to be sufficiently reliable. A vice-president judge of the High Court said, “As it is a medical record, it seems that it is highly likely that (Mayor Park’s sexual harassment) is true. The victims say that it is meaningful that some of the allegations of sexual harassment by Mayor Park, who were almost buried, were judged to be true. In response to the suspicion that the former mayor of Park Park’s complaint was handled with “no public prosecution,” the Seoul City Vice Mayor and the secretary’s office assisted in sexual harassment, the police sent an unindicted opinion at the end of last year, saying it was lack of evidence. The Seoul Northern District Prosecutors’ Office, which investigated the alleged leak of the sexual harassment accusation, said, “Mayor Park told the Seoul Gender News Agency that’there is a text message with the victim, but if you take a problem, it may be a problem.'” I only said enough. Attorney Kim Jae-ryeon, the victim’s representative, said, “The victim sued about the former mayor, but I lost the opportunity to appeal legally, but it would be a little comforting to the victim that the court judged some part.” By Shin Min-jeong, staff reporter [email protected]
