President Moon Jae-in said, "I will take a good look" at the father of Air Force Sgt. Lee Ye-ram, who made an extreme choice while complaining about secondary sexual harassment.
President Moon met the father of Sergeant Lee during a one-man protest as he entered the Myeongdong Cathedral in Jung-gu, Seoul to attend a ceremony to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea around 10:30 am today (25th).
Sergeant Lee's father held a one-man protest from 9 am today in front of the memorial to meet with President Moon.
Sergeant Lee's father delivered a letter to President Moon, including the special prosecutor's requirements, saying, "Please be sure to punish those responsible."
It is reported that President Moon spoke with the intention of "taking a good look".
Air Force Sgt. Yeram Lee was sexually harassed by a senior non-commissioned officer in March of this year and reported it the next day.
The Prosecutor's Office of the Ministry of National Defense has filed criminal charges against a total of 25 people in connection with the death of the sergeant, and indicted 15 of them.
However, the initial investigation officers were not prosecuted due to insufficient evidence, causing controversy.
