A former executive of the 5·18 Victims Association, a construction method organization, has been accused of sexually harassing the director of the May Mothers' House, prompting the police to launch an investigation.
According to the Gwangju Seobu Police Station on the 3rd, Kim Hyung-mi, director of the May Mothers' House, filed a complaint last month on the 24th against A (62), a member of the 5·18 Victims Association, for violations of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (obscenity using communication media) and the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc.
A is suspected of sending dozens of sexually provocative messages to Director Kim via SNS earlier this year.
This behavior reportedly occurred after Director Kim posted a critical message about herself in the 5·18 organization's SNS chat room.
The police have booked A without detention and are investigating, and if the allegations are proven, they plan to refer the case to the prosecution after verifying the facts.
