Current Teacher Caught Red-Handed and Indicted for Committing Indecent Act on Subway

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.
