The Ministry of Justice saw that public institutions as B c users are responsible for the civil law for illegal activities.

It is very springing that the relevance to office execution is recognized.” In addition, the judiciary did not admit the protests of public institutions that’we have fulfilled our duty of care as an employer. The Ministry of Justice said, “It is acknowledged that the disciplinary action was taken to dismiss Mr. B after conducting a sexual harassment prevention education and reporting a report of Mr. B, after confirming the facts.” “It is not enough to admit that we have given considerable attention to the appointment and supervisor to prevent sexual harassment, and there is no evidence to admit it.” Earlier, in July 2016, Mr. B was convicted of 1 year and 6 months imprisonment in the Supreme Court for attempting to sexually assault Mr. A, a part-time graduate student. Attorney Song Young-gyeong, who represented Mr. A, said, “If you are victims of sexual violence by an employee of the company, you can also file a lawsuit against the company.
