US Soldier Accused of Raping a Korean Woman in Busan
Considering that the suspect is an ethnic Korean it will be interesting to see if the Korean media tries to keep a low key approach to this case or not:
An American soldier of Korean ethnicity has been charged with raping a Korean woman at a Busan guesthouse.
Busan Jungbu police have charged the man, 21, with raping the woman, 24.
The soldier, from a U.S. Forces Korea camp in Gyeonggi Province, made the woman’s acquaintance through an online dating app.
On Feb. 18, he met her in person in Busan while on a brief vacation. At about 4:30 a.m., after they had been drinking, the soldier took her to a guesthouse, where he allegedly raped her.
Police said the man had denied the charge.
The police plan to refer the case to U.S. military police, who will deal with it according to the Status of Forces Agreement between Seoul and Washington. [Korea Times]
The Stars and Stripes now has an article published about this alleged rape. The accuser is now identified as being a Korean-Canadian. The soldier denies that a rape happened.
“At about 4:30 a.m., after they had been drinking, the soldier took her to a guesthouse, where he allegedly raped her.”
Is there a difference between “he took her to a guesthouse” and “they went to a guesthouse”?
And this, ladies, is why so many claims are not taken seriously. The bullshyt starts from the beginning.
Looks like another case of deciding whether or not, if the female was too intoxicated to consent to sex.
