A man in his 30s is under police investigation on charges of confinement and sexual assault after his ex-girlfriend refused to meet him.
According to the Seoul Gwanak Police Station on the 1st, the police are investigating a man in his 30s, Mr. A, for violating the Stalking Punishment Act, sexual assault, and confinement.
Mr. A is accused of waiting for his ex-girlfriend to finish work at a subway station in Gwanak-gu on the 28th, then following her home where he confined and sexually assaulted her.
It was found that Mr. A committed the crime after his ex-girlfriend expressed her refusal to meet him, but he continued to follow her and, when she completely blocked his contact, he carried out the offense.
However, Mr. A reportedly denies the charges of sexual assault and confinement.
The police applied to the court for a provisional measure No. 4 (detention in a detention center or jail for up to one month) after implementing safety measures for the stalking crime victim (personal protection measures).
The police plan to decide whether to request an arrest warrant after further investigation of Mr. A.
