(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Nam-jik Han = Even in the off-season, the scandal of former and current professional baseball players continued, causing deep disappointment to fans.
Following the issue of illegal gambling by active players, a former professional baseball player was handed over to trial on suspicion of sexual assault.
The Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office of Seongnam said on the 25th that, on December 31st, last year, he prosecuted A, a former professional player who was sent uncontrolled on charges such as rape.
Mr. A is accused of sexually assaulting Mr. B at a karaoke room in Hanam, Gyeonggi-do at midnight on May 17 last year.
He is also accused of inflicting some injuries to Mr. B in the process of forcibly subduing the resisting Mr. B.
It is said that Mr. A partially denied the allegations during the investigation.
The victim is not familiar with Mr. A. If you have to categorize it, it is’acquaintance of Mr. A’.
In July of the same year, victim B filed a complaint with the prosecution asking for punishment of Mr. A for rape.
The Hanam Police Department, which took over the case, decided that the charges were admitted based on Mr. A’s statement and circumstantial evidence, and sent Mr. A to the prosecution in September last year with an opinion of prosecution.
Married, Mr. A played as a pitcher for the Seoul and local clubs, and also as a coach for a year at the local clubs.
Although some fans presumed that former coach Park Myung-hwan was the’suspect’, Mr. A is a completely different person.
He is younger than coach Park Myung-hwan and has been a player until more recently.
