A is suspected of secretly entering the room where a Chinese tourist woman, B, was staying at a hotel in Yeondong, Jeju City, around 4 a.m. on the 14th and sexually assaulting her. At the time, B was heavily intoxicated and reportedly unable to resist.

Later that morning, after regaining consciousness, B informed her Chinese companions that she had been sexually assaulted, and an acquaintance reported the incident to the police.

The police urgently arrested A based on CCTV footage showing him entering B’s room and B’s statement.

Investigations revealed that A used a master key to enter the room. However, A reportedly denied the sexual assault charges, claiming that he believed B consented because she did not resist.

The police plan to apply for an arrest warrant for A after thoroughly investigating the details of the incident.
