It was 74 days after the incident that the victim was separated from the perpetrator. Even the most basic measures in the case of sexual violence are too late at the latest, but the military's easy recognition was also revealed in the explanation yesterday (13th).
This is a report by Kim A-young, a reporter.

Sergeant B was in a situation where he had to meet the perpetrator C, who was in the same department, every day in the office.
A navy official who attended the briefing mentioned several times that Sergeant B informed the chief of the department of the damage on the day of the sexual harassment, but he did not want the incident to be known.
The Basic Military Service Act stipulates that if you become aware of a sexual assault case, you must immediately report it to your superior or to an investigative agency.
There was a conflict between the basic law and the order, and it was followed by an explanation that the chief executive respected the victim's wishes and applied the order.
However, in June, right after the incident, when the death of Air Force Sergeant A was reported every day, it is pointed out that it should have been more active to look for secondary harm.
The Ministry of National Defense’s guidelines on sexual violence prevention activities to separate the perpetrator from the victim immediately after the sexual assault incident was too far away for the Sergeant B incident.
[Sergeant B’s older brother: The question is whether the separation measures were properly carried out. I want to know that too. (When secondary harm occurred) I want to know if it was neglected or not.]
Sergeant B, who could not withstand the second assault, reported on the 9th, so separation measures were made 74 days after the incident.
The perpetrator C's warrant substantive examination will be held this morning, and the decision on whether to arrest him or not is expected to be decided later in the afternoon.
