Suspicion of attempting sexual assault on a drunk female passenger
Criminal Division 11 of the Jeonju District Law (Director Dong-won Kang) attempted sexual assault on a drunk female passenger on the 23rd, and after confinement, a taxi driver charged with false accusation (attempted semi-rape, confinement, innocence) for special injury ( 44) was sentenced to three years in prison. It also ordered a 40-hour sexual violence treatment program and a five-year restriction on employment at institutions related to children and adolescents and welfare facilities for the disabled.
Mr. A was charged with attempting to rape a passenger B (48, female) in a taxi while drunk on a road in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeonbuk, around midnight on April 24. At that time, Mr. B drove a taxi to escape from Mr. A, who attempted to rape, and caused a traffic accident.
Mr. A, while confining Mr. B, who was an unaccompanied person, was confined in a taxi for about 3 hours, stopped the car in a secluded place, and attempted sexual assault. Mr. A was also accused of falsely suing the police on May 6th, saying, “Mr. B drove a taxi and ran away, hitting me in the way and hurting me.”
As a result of the investigation, Mr. B ran out of the taxi to avoid Mr. A, who was trying to rape at the time, and when Mr. A got out of the taxi, he drove a taxi using the gap and ran away. Mr. B drove a taxi to Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do for more than 50km on the highway, but after hitting a 3.5t truck near a rest area, he stopped.

Passenger calms down “I was almost raped by a driver”
A female passenger, Mr. B, was arrested by a police officer who was dispatched after receiving A’s report of theft of a car. Mr. B’s blood alcohol concentration at the time was 0.15%, which corresponds to the cancellation of his license.
But a reversal happened. Jeonju Deokjin Police Station, which received a petition from Mr. B, stating that he was almost raped by a taxi driver, revealed the crime of Mr. A. At that time, Mr. A removed and damaged the black box attached to the taxi in order to remove the trace of his crime.
Mr. B lifted most of the charges. Jeonju District Prosecutor’s Office took advice from the Citizen’s Committee of the Prosecutors’ Office on the allegations of drunk driving and drunk driving, and the prosecution was suspended, and the charges of taxi theft and special injuries were not charged. The result of the deliberation by the Citizens Committee of the Prosecutors’ Office on the charges of B’s drunk driving and traffic accident was unanimously a postponement of prosecution. On the other hand, the prosecution indicted Mr. A, who denied the crime, by adding charges of innocence.
The judge said, “If you look at the evidence submitted by the prosecution, the DNA of the defendant is confirmed in parts of the victim’s body and clothes,” and said, “It is acknowledged that the defendant tried to commit a crime against the victim.” He said, “In light of the fact that the crime was committed against the victim who boarded the taxi and the victim wants the accused to be punished, severe punishment is inevitable.” I said.
