After controversy over the posting of sexual harassment comments on social media, Incheon Michuhol-gu mayor Kim Jeong-sik was sued and apologized by the victim.
According to the Women and Youth Investigation Unit of the Incheon Police Agency on the 31st, victim A (female) sued Chief Kim Gu to the police on charges of obscene use of communication media under the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes on the 26th.
Earlier, Mr. A mentioned on his SNS, "I have a constitution that fits well with Oriental medicine, but I am in my name because it seems that the treatment chemistry is particularly well suited with Dr. O."
Then, mayor Kim Gu replied, "It should only be compatible with treatment" and sent an emoticon in which a character is crawling.
After confirming the reply, Mr. A protested, saying, "It is unpleasant," and Mr. Kim apologized immediately, but Mr. A filed a complaint saying, "I feel assaulted and I do not feel the sincerity of the apology."
Mr. A and Mayor Kim Goo are known to have known each other.
After a media report related to the police investigation came out on this day, Mayor Kim posted a long apology on his Facebook page and responded with a comment saying that he had received treatment at an oriental medical clinic I know, and as a result, it caused great displeasure to the residents. "I explained.
He admitted, "I wasn't aware that trying to convey a message in a positive meaning without impure intentions could be read with other intentions," he admitted, "I lacked my sensitivity to gender perception."
Mr. A initially filed a complaint with the Incheon Michuhol Police Station, but the Incheon Police Agency, a senior agency, decided to investigate the case after taking over the case, taking into account that Chief Kim is an elected public official.
The police will call both sides sooner or later to investigate the facts and then review whether or not to apply an insult.
