Park Yoochun summoned as key witness for sexual assault trial next month
Singer and actor Park Yoochun received a new hearing date and will stand as witness at the Seoul Central District Court.
On October 13th, Seoul Central District Court stated that, “We have called Park Yoochun as to testify as a witness on November 24th.” The trial was for the three individuals accused of attempted extortion. One of the individuals involved in the case is identified as Miss A, the same woman who initially filed a sexual assault case against the singer and actor.
It was also stated that the trial is likely to take place in private and it is up to the prosecution to apply for a private report.
Park Yoochun will testify against Miss A who initially filed a report against him for sexual assault with the charge eventually withdrawn after it was picked up by the media. During the investigation, however, it was detected that Miss A and two other accomplices may have tried to extort money and made false accusations in the process of filing the charge and was eventually arrested.
The singer and actor was investigated and under close scrutiny after allegations of multiple sexual assaults were made against him.
The case continues.
