The truth battle continues between Kang Min-jin, former leader of the Youth Justice Party and the Justice Party, who exposed the victims of sexual violence within the party.

When the Justice Party explained that it was difficult to see it as sexual violence, former leader Kang protested, saying it was a second offense.



Reporter Kang Min-woo questioned whether the Justice Party's response was appropriate.

Kang Min-jin, former leader of the Youth Justice Party, claimed through social media yesterday (16th) that the party had been sexually assaulted.



Last November, at a party event nationwide, the chairman of a metropolitan provincial party made physical contact, and in March, a member of the Youth Justice Party wrote that he sexually assaulted him.



In today's briefing, the Justice Party promised to respond strictly to cases of sexual violence according to the principle of zero tolerance.



However, he explained that it was difficult to define the case as sexual harassment, as the former CEO Kang claimed.



[Lee Dong-young / Chief Spokesperson of the Justice Party: It is a matter of unnecessary physical contact as Chairman A pushed Kang away while sitting next to him at the party after the event.]



Former President Kang also said that it was not sexual assault, and the perpetrator wrote an apology letter.

that it is finished on the line.



Former CEO Kang immediately protested.



He never stipulated that it was not sexual assault, and refuted that the party's statement itself was a secondary perpetrator.



It looks like former Chairman Kang and the party are having a battle of truth, but the problem is that the Justice Party's response method is different from before.



After the sexual harassment case of former president Kim Jong-cheol last year, the Justice Party has declared victim-centredism.



[Kang Eun-mi / Justice Party member (January of last year, floor leader at the time): The first and last thing that should be given priority is the victim's voice and the restoration of daily life.



] He pointed out that it is questionable that the information was disclosed without the consent of the victim.



The Justice Party's Manual on Sexual Violence Cases emphasizes the need to pay attention to secondary perpetrators as the victim may experience a change of heart.
