A police officer who was convicted of forcibly harassing a female employee was convicted and even dismissed the charges after a year or so. He succeeded in winning the appeal trial and the lawsuit for canceling the dismissal.
The Chuncheon District Law Administration Department 1 announced on the 27th that “Mr. A, who was a police officer, ruled in the plaintiff’s victory in the dismissal cancellation lawsuit filed against the Gangwon Police Commissioner.”
After the dinner party in mid-2018, Mr. A spoke with his fellow female employee B while on the move in a taxi. When Mr. B was drunk and lowered his head, he was charged with assaulting him asking if he was okay, kissing him twice, and was sentenced to a fine of 1.5 million won at the end of that year at the first trial.
At the same time, the police disciplinary committee also dismissed him, saying, “We failed to comply with the duty to maintain the integrity and dignity of public officials.” It means that all of them were admitted to dismissal for harassment.
However, about a year later, the situation reversed in the middle of last year. The appellate court convicted of innocence after breaking the court ruling that admitted the crime of coercion. A’s side insisted that it is reasonable to assume that kisses and kisses at the time were achieved through mutual implied or implied agreements.’
After that, Mr. A filed a lawsuit to cancel the dismissal based on the innocence of the Appeals Tribunal, and the effect of dismissal from the police disappeared. The judiciary in charge of the dismissal cancellation lawsuit said, “It was judged that the criminal judgment related to (previous appeal) was innocent, and it is difficult to admit that the plaintiff was forcibly harassing a colleague based on the evidence submitted.
