News reports state that Areum’s ex-husband retaliated and countersued Areum, alleging she had abused their child. Police, after investigating, reportedly found evidence to back the ex-husband’s allegations and forwarded it to prosecutors. Areum and her mother were also reportedly handed a restraining order, barring them from their home and the child’s preschool.

Reports state that police felt suspicious after finding inconsistencies in the child’s testimony. Police reportedly brought in a specialist to analyze the child’s statements and decided to act after the specialist stated they felt the child was being coerced.

Stay tuned for updates.
