In February of last year, in an internet community, suspicions of violence between Lee Young-ha and Kim Dae-hyun while attending Sunrin Internet High School were raised.
The two players completely denied the allegations and seemed to be settled, but the juniors of the baseball club who exposed the related contents reported it to the Sports Ethics Center at the end of last year, and after a police investigation, the prosecution recently indicted the two players on charges of special assault.
[School abuse exposer: I think that I am really lucky to be prosecuted even now, and the baseball world will change only when it becomes a public debate.
There were too many things that just went on and on.]
On the 21st, Lee Young-ha started preparing for the trial while missing from the first-team entry, and Kim Dae-hyun, who is serving in the military, is being investigated by the military prosecutors, but he still completely denies the allegations.
[Kim Seon-woong/Lee Young-ha's lawyer: (Lee Young-ha) claims that there are no facts related to school violence, and thinks that he can sufficiently explain the facts of the prosecution.]
Since last year, sports school violence has been exposed. It is the first time that a professional athlete has been charged with sexual assault, so the outcome of the trial is expected to have a big impact on the entire sports world.
