The allegation of former CEO Lee Jun-seok is that between 2013 and 2015, Kim Seong-jin, CEO of IKAIST, received various entertainment, including sexual favors.
On the 17th, the police, who summoned Lee and investigated for about 12 hours, decided that they had no right to prosecute the allegations of sexual abuse.
It was mid-2013 when CEO Kim claimed to have provided sexual favors, but I saw that the statute of limitations had already passed.
In addition, former CEO Lee is also accused of receiving solicitation and money from CEO Kim several times from 2013 to 2015. Suspicions up to January 2015 expired, and all subsequent suspicions were dismissed due to insufficient evidence.
In particular, the police explained, regarding the part where CEO Kim claimed that he gave Lee a holiday gift in 2015, "It was given for the purpose of 'maintaining a relationship', and it is difficult to see it as a single crime with previous entertainment."
This is the reason that "there is no relation between giving and receiving money or valuables related to work."
Previously, former CEO Lee had denied the allegations, saying that the allegations were "false facts."
but,
The police decided to continue investigating the allegations that former Chairman Lee tried to dispel allegations of sexual abuse through former party leader Kim Cheol-geun, and the case in which Chairman Kim accused Lee of acquittal.
