<Anchor> A



report came in that the driver made a strange suggestion to a female passenger in a taxi at night. Until this passenger arrived, he had no choice but to feel fear. The taxi driver later gave an absurd explanation, but the problem is that there is no good way to punish.



Reporter Ha Jeong-yeon covered it.



<Reporter>



At about 10 o'clock on the night of the 1st, Mr. A received a phone call from his wife in horror.



On the way home, a taxi driver in his 60s asked if he had a lover or if he was married, and suggested that he would make a lover other than a husband and proposed prostitution.



[Mr. A/Suggested person: Even though my wife has said that'I have a 2-year-old child'... . I'll give you 200,000 won in cash, so let's have a beer and sleep with us.] The



Vietnamese wife had to do this or that in a fast-driving car late at night and panic.



[Mr. A/Suggested person: My wife heard that, and I was angry and scared, and in this situation, a call came from me. Get off right now, because I don't know what's going to happen, and then my wife is rather scared of it.]



Mr. A placed a cover on the taxi driver over the phone, calmed down his surprised wife, and continued on the phone until he got home.



I reported it to the police with the thought that it would be punishable, but I had to be told that the charges to apply were not appropriate.



In the case of sexual harassment under the current law, there are penalties only for sexual harassment in the workplace.



In the case of insults, it is only possible to have a large number of others, but it is difficult to punish because the statement was made in a taxi alone.



The police are in a position that it is difficult to apply the Special Act on Prostitution only by remarks on prostitution proposals.



What makes Mr. A more upset is the taxi driver's blatant attitude.



While acknowledging the facts, he said that he knew he didn't have a husband, and responded that it wasn't a big deal to the reporters.



[Taxi driver: I called Seo-nim and said,'Sorry, I thought she was a lady, but I didn't know she was a married woman.' .] The



police are in a position that they will check additional taxi black boxes and see if there are any charges to apply them.



Kakao Taxi, who called for a taxi by a woman, said it would suspend the driver's account and ask the transportation company to strengthen management when the facts were confirmed.
