Suspicion of sexual assault for 2 years, conclusion of not being charged due to lack of evidence… Police “The suspect is innocent”

 The suspicion of sexual violence surrounding soccer star Ki Sung-yong (34, FC Seoul) was concluded not guilty due to insufficient evidence after two years of police investigation.

Two people, including Mr. A, who were active in the soccer team at the same elementary school as Ki Sung-yong, raised suspicion of sexual violence and damaged Ki Sung-yong’s reputation, and were also acquitted due to insufficient evidence.

According to the police on the 17th, the Seocho Police Station in Seoul made a decision to not send the charges against two people, including Mr. A, who were accused of defamation by spreading false information on the 10th, saying “there is insufficient evidence” and “no charges”.

A police official also explained that “the relevant evidence was considered insufficient” as to whether Ki Sung-yong had committed sexual violence.토토사이트

In February 2021, Mr. A and others claimed that they were sexually assaulted by their senior player B from January to June 2000, when they were living in a soccer club at an elementary school in Jeonnam.

They did not mention Ki Sung-yong’s name, but from the contents, it was possible to infer that player B was Ki Sung-yong. When the related information became known, Ki Sung-yong sued Mr. A and others for defamation in March of the same year, while filing a lawsuit for damages of 500 million won.

In March of last year, the first trial for damages was held at the Seoul Central District Court, but the trial was postponed until the outcome of the criminal case in which Ki Sung-yong sued Mr. A and others came out.
