A local police officer in Jeollanam-do, who was investigating a sex crime, is causing controversy by disclosing the victim's personal information to the perpetrator.
According to the Jeonnam National Police Agency yesterday (20th), the victim, male A, left the chat room when a male B, whom she had met four years ago on the job, recently sent photos and videos of the female body through a messenger.
At the end of last month, when Mr. B sent another obscene picture while he was with his wife, Mr. A filed a complaint with the police and was investigated under a pseudonym.
Mr. B's continuous sending of pornography is a crime of obscene use of communication media under the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes.
Investigative agencies should not disclose the identity and privacy of the victim, and may conduct anonymous investigations to protect the victim.
However, on the 17th, Mr. A received a call from Mr. B saying, "Why did you report me? I know that you reported it."
B is known to have said that "the police gave me his phone number."
In relation to this, Mr. A claimed, "I asked the police officer in charge to confirm, but I replied to the effect that 'it is not a problem because it is an investigation practice,' and he did not answer the call after that."
Person A sued the police officer in charge of divulging official secrets, violating the Act on Special Cases of Sexual Violence, and violating the Personal Information Protection Act.
It is reported that the police officer in charge explained that the perpetrator had known the victim several years ago and that he gave the name of the author because he thought they would get to know each other in the process of investigating evidence of photo and video transmission.
After receiving the complaint, the Jeollanam-do Police Agency started an investigation to determine the exact circumstances.
A police official said, "It is clearly wrong that the police officer in charge leaked the victim's identity.
This is a 'news pick'.
