It will be interesting to see what President Moon has to say about this considering that An Hee-jung was looked at as a possible successor to Moon in the next Presidential election:
An Hee-jung
South Chungcheong Province Governor An Hee-jung has been accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting his secretary over the past eight months.
During a TV interview on JTBC, a local cable channel, Monday, Kim Ji-eun who has served as An’s secretary since June, claimed that the 54-year-old assaulted her four times and frequently sexually harassed her.
He has reportedly admitted to having sexual relations with her, but insists they were consensual.
Kim said she will file a complaint with the prosecution Tuesday.
The shocking news of his behavior could bring about the end of his political career regardless of the nature of their relationship. An was regarded as one of the strongest hopefuls for the country’s next president.
“Our sexual relations were not consensual, and I’m sure he knows it,” Kim said. “I was not in a position where I could say no.”
She said there was no one that could help her.
The accusation comes amid the spread of the #MeToo movement here, which was triggered by female prosecutor Seo Ji-hyun in January.
“After the issue about the movement came into the spotlight, An appeared to be anxious,” Kim said. “On Feb. 25, he called me into his office and apologized. But then, he did it again … I thought I would never be able to get away from him at that time.” [Korea Times]
You can read more at the link, but I would not be surprised if this is something An has been doing for years and Kim Ji-eun just happens to be the first person to speak out against him.

Just messed up.
I bet he doesn’t get 30 years like Princess Park or the death penalty like Molar Dad though.
“accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting his secretary over the past eight months”
I wonder what his secret is.
I can never get a woman to come back for seconds when I am dishing out the sexual assault.
He kept her on the sexual assault line for 8 months? That’s better than grabbin’ ’em by the puśśy. Elect this man president.
With so many incidents over so much time, it’s too bad she couldn’t come up with some sort of device that everyone could carry which records voice or even video.
So what did he ràpe her with for 8 months?
A sloth?

McGeeHee,
There’s a place I heard about in Itaewon… up on the Hill around the corner from Polly’s… (I never made it past the Opry and have not been there since 1993)
It seems like President Moon did not want any distractions and got rid of this guy real fast:
South Chungcheong Gov. An Hee-jung resigned Tuesday after his secretary said he raped her multiple times, becoming the most prominent figure to be disgraced in Korea’s snowballing Me Too movement.
Kim Ji-eun, 33, An’s secretary, accused the governor Monday of raping her four times and sexually harassing her more often during her eight months working in his office.
Kim went public with her allegations against An, 52, a Democratic Party presidential hopeful, in an interview with JTBC Newsroom Monday evening.
“A secretary is someone who has to say ‘yes,’ even if everybody says ‘no,’ someone who has to defend the governor till the end,” said Kim. “The governor always told me, ‘Don’t state your opinions, don’t speak your thoughts. You are a mirror that reflects me. Live transparently, reflecting me. Live like a shadow.’”
She summoned the courage to go public from the Me Too movement, which has taken off in the past month after prosecutor Seo Ji-hyeon came forward in late January on the same program with a story of being groped by a superior.
Kim said An raped her on overseas business trips, including in Russia and Switzerland last year.
You’d think after the 1st time she would just quit or refuse to work for him again. I guess 4 was the lucky number?

At what point does no response to rape equal consent?
I’m thinking three times for sure.
Once, from a guy’s point of view.

A theory I have heard is that commie moon is getting rid of potential rivals. Shooting them in the back of the head is a little messy, this way is better.

I bet KJU gave him that tip. Fatty has been a smooth operator this month.
@Flyingsword, interesting theory in regards to Moon trying to get rid of potential rivals. Remember Moon is also an advocate of getting rid of the 5 year term limit. Getting the constitution revised and getting rid of rivals simultaneously would make sense.
