My wife is the representative of the academy... Police "Education authorities crack down on violations of employment restrictions subject to fines"

(Pyeongtaek = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Ji-won = A man in his 50s with a history of two sexual crimes is under police investigation on charges of sexually assaulting a female instructor at the academy where he works.

The Pyeongtaek Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 5th that it was investigating A, a man in his 50s, on charges of rape and forcible harassment.

Mr. A is accused of having sexual intercourse or touching the body against the will of Mr. B, a female instructor in her 30s at an entrance exam academy in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, where he works, from the end of 2022 to the beginning of this year.

It was confirmed that the representative of the entrance exam academy was Mr. A's wife.

The police, who received a complaint from Mr. B's family in April of this year and began an investigation, searched and seized Mr. A's home and academy last September and secured his cell phone, etc., and are confirming the charges through digital forensics.

It was found that Mr. A had a history of being punished for sexually harassing minors in 2016 and 2018.

In 2018, he was sentenced to two years in prison and an order to restrict employment at child and youth-related institutions for three years (until 2023).

A police official said, "If you worked at an academy during the employment restriction period, it would be a violation of the Act on Sexual Protection of Children and Adolescents. You will be subject to a fine in accordance with the relevant law and this is a matter that the education authorities will crack down on."
