A current school teacher has been arrested by police and indicted in custody on charges of sexually harassing a woman on a subway.
According to the police, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Subway Police Unit sent a man in his 50s, identified as A, to the prosecution under detention on June 30 on charges of committing an indecent act in a crowded place.
A is accused of sexually harassing a woman inside a Line 9 subway train in late May.
After receiving a report and launching an investigation, the police analyzed hundreds of closed-circuit television footage over about two months to trace A's movements before conducting an undercover subway stakeout.
Subsequently, police spotted A on a subway late last month and arrested him red-handed as he attempted to make physical contact with another woman nearby.
At the time of his arrest, A was serving as an active-duty teacher.
Considering the possibility of a repeat offense, the police applied for an arrest warrant for A, which was then issued by the court.
A is currently undergoing trial while in custody.
