<Reporter> The
direct superiors of Sergeant A, who were arrested and imprisoned by the Joint Investigation Team of the Ministry of National Defense last night, are Lieutenant Noh and Sergeant Noh.
They are charged with the so-called 'second offense' of trying to convince Sergeant A, a victim of sexual assault, and to cover up and reduce the case.

After the assault on March 2nd, Sergeant A reported the damage to two of his direct superiors, who did not immediately report this fact to the upper management and persuaded the victim.
In particular, the charge of forcibly molesting Sergeant A in the past was also revealed during the investigation process, apart from this sexual harassment case.
The Joint Investigation Team plans to investigate whether there were other units involved in conciliation and concealment attempts against the two detained persons.
In addition, since the incident of sexual harassment, reports have been made within the Air Force, and the command is focusing on understanding what actions have been taken.
