ROK Military Releases New Guidelines to Prevent Sexual Assaults
The measures the ROK Army is taking to stop sex crimes is even stricter than anything we have seen in the US Army yet:
The Army is scrambling to come up with a new code of behavior in response to a recent series of sex crimes in barracks.
“A top brass meeting held on Tuesday decided to work out a code of conduct to cope with sex crimes,” an Army spokesman said Thursday. “It will be issued in the name of the Army chief of staff and violators will be subject to punishment under military law.”
Male or female soldiers will be banned from visiting the quarters of soldiers of the opposite sex alone. Soldiers of different genders will only be allowed to shake hands with one hand.
Soldiers of different ranks will be prohibited from dating, and no soldier will be allowed to travel, or stay in the same office, alone with another of the opposite sex. When it is inevitable that they are alone in the same office, they must leave the door open. [Chosun Ilbo]
