An air force officer was forcibly molested by a non-commissioned officer, and it was claimed that the investigation was not carried out properly. Although the fact of the damage was reported above, the military again tried to cover up the case with conciliation and pressure.
Reporter Kim Min-jung will tell you the details.
<Reporter> This
is the content of the SNS conversation between a female air force officer, A, and a subordinate, non-commissioned officer B, released by the Military Human Rights Center in April.
Mr. B sent a message unrelated to work telling him to come home and buy a hamburger to eat with, and Mr. A refused to do so, saying, "I thought he was naive, but he is a complete monster."
In addition to this message, Mr. A reported to the Military Police when Mr. B, who was older than him, touched his back, shoulders, and earlobes while eating.
However, Mr. A claims that it was the conciliation and pressure of the military police battalion commander who returned.
[Military Police Battalion Commander: Did I say that you are the only unfair person in the world? Didn't I say it's all there? uh? Shall I take it out and give it a try? Huh?] He
said that the victim of a sex crime was rather reprimanded for being so confident.
[Military Police Battalion Commander: You say you are a victim now. Yes? Where is such a proud victim?]
Mr. A sued Mr. B and the commander of the military police battalion with the military prosecutor's office in July when the military police investigation was slow, but the result was all non-prosecution.
It is true that he touched the ears, but based on Mr. B's statement that it was to measure the size of the ears, it was judged that there was physical contact, but there was no sexual intention.
In addition, the military prosecutor's conclusion was that the charges were not proven against the commander of the military police battalion, which the victim sued for intimidation.
[Lim Tae-hoon/Director of the Military Human Rights Center: I have believed in the military investigation system and prosecution system, but a proper prosecution has not been made, and it is determined that there is no improvement in the essential problem even after the death of this sergeant. )] The
Air Force said that they did not prosecute because their actions were not subject to criminal punishment.
In addition, it was reported that the victim filed an appeal with the Higher Military Court for the decision of the military prosecutor's office, and related procedures are in progress.
