The victim, who was under investigation as a suspect, and not as a victim, had to be confined in a detention center for the first time in his life from the morning of the arrest warrant request until close to 12:00 p.m. when the arrest warrant was dismissed.” . He also said, “After that, I was tried as a crippled state, but during that period the victim had to live as a defendant, not as a victim.” At the court, victim A had to feel a sense of anxiety and pressure that was different from the resentment and anxiety that he had as a defendant.”
Then, Lee recalled, “If many women’s activists had not kept their seats in the court, it would have been difficult for both the victim and the lawyer to endure.” “These uneasy days are where the victim’s identity is scattered online, damaged and insulted. It led to the second assault,” he said. And he added that “the victim is still not free from such secondary damage.” Lee said, “For that reason, the victim A filed a civil suit against Park Yoo-cheon,” and said, “The court did not have the opportunity to judge the victim A’s damage as a crime, but at least recognized it as a civil illegal act.” Revealed the results.
