New Zealand’s PM Unhappy with South Korea’s Cooperation of Sexual Assault Allegation Against Diplomat
It looks like the Moon administration is willing to just let this one go down the memory hole. Will anyone remember this a few weeks from now? Probably not:
New Zealand said Thursday it has expressed disappointment that South Korea’s government did not cooperate with a police investigation into allegations that one of its diplomats sexually assaulted a local embassy employee when he was stationed in Wellington.

The male employee has accused the Korean diplomat of groping parts of his body over three different occasions in 2017. The case has drawn fresh attention after New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern raised the issue in a phone call with President Moon Jae-in earlier this week.
“The New Zealand government has expressed its disappointment that the Korean government did not cooperate with earlier requests from New Zealand Police in respect of this case,” a spokesperson at New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in emailed comments to Yonhap News Agency.Â

I’m confused. Is the NZ PM unhappy with SK cooperation or with non-cooperation?
Kevin, I guess level of cooperation in the sexual assault probe would be more accurate.
So… “South Korea under President Moon is assigning gay sexual predators to diplomatic posts in New Zealand and unspecified countries in Southeast Asia? Film at 11!”
Isn’t that how it would be written up if it were about America?
GIKorea: okay, got it. Thanks.
I find it interesting that it’s man on man sexual assault. It’s usually the female secretary, as with, Commie Seoul mayor.
That diplomat could get a job on the Ellen DeGeneres show doing that.
