A university professor in South Korea has been indicted for charges of sexual assault and violating laws related to the use of cameras for filming without consent. The 40-year-old professor, referred to as 'A', allegedly assaulted a male victim whom he met through a dating application in September and October 2023, after drinking together. The allegations include coercive actions against the victim who was incapacitated during the incidents, while the accused is also claimed to have filmed the assault using his mobile phone.

Initially, the police had decided not to prosecute the case last year due to insufficient evidence, but following an appeal from the victim, the East Seoul District Prosecutors' Office began their supplementary investigation. This led to further inquiries, including a confrontational investigation where the prosecutors determined that the statements provided by the professor did not align with the evidence available, leading to the decision to formally indict him.

The accused has reportedly claimed that the actions were consensual, stating that the sexual actions and filming were agreed upon by both parties. The specifics of the legal process will be clarified as the case proceeds to court, and any legal findings will be subject to the judicial examination by the court in due time.
