A nursing assistant who committed sexual crimes against female adolescents admitted to a hospital-type entrusted education facility has been handed over to the prosecution.
The Women and Youth Crime Investigation Unit of the Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency announced on the 5th that A (33) was arrested and sent to prosecution on charges of violating the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Offenses.
A is suspected of committing sexual crimes against four teenage female adolescents at a hospital-type entrusted education facility in March of last year.
This facility operates an entrusted and alternative education program established to provide both education and healing for children and adolescents who are unable to attend school due to emotional difficulties and are at risk of dropping out.
The police initially received a report of victimization from one patient and began an investigation, subsequently identifying three additional victims living in the same ward and arresting A.
They are also checking for any additional victims among patients who previously stayed at the facility and had contact with A.
