Man Arrested for Luring Makeup Artist via Secondhand Trading App and Assaulting Her

A man in his 30s has been arrested by police for luring a visiting makeup artist to his home through the secondhand trading platform Daangn and sexually assaulting her.

Seoul Gwanak Police Station announced that it is investigating the man, in his 30s referred to as A, on charges including rape.

On the 2nd, A posted an ad on Daangn's part-time job board, Daangn Alba, looking for someone to provide on-site makeup services for a profile photoshoot.

When B, who applied for the job after seeing the post, visited his home, A made unwanted physical contact.

According to the investigation, A proceeded to sexually assault B after she expressed her refusal.

B managed to escape the house and reported the incident to the police, initiating the investigation.

Crimes exploiting Daangn Alba have been occurring consecutively in recent times.

There have also been cases where job applicants approached clients' homes to commit crimes.

In Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, in June, a man in his 30s was arrested by police after tricking his way into a woman's home under the guise of doing a cleaning job and threatening her with a weapon.

The man fled after the victim put up strong resistance and was apprehended in Seoul about six hours later.

On the 5th, in Nowon-gu, Seoul, a man in his 20s who received a request for housekeeping services was booked after being caught stealing valuables from the client's home.
