Justice Party Chairman Kim Jong-cheol stepped down after admitting to sexually assaulting one of the party’s lawmakers.    
   
“I am here to announce very humiliating, devastating news that Chairman Kim committed sexual assault on Jan. 15,” Bae Bok-joo, deputy chair of the party, said in a press conference Monday. “The victim is Rep. Jang Hye-young, a member of the party.” 

The alleged assault took place on Jan. 15 after a dinner, and Jang filed a complaint with the party on Jan. 18. Bae, who is also in charge of the party’s gender and human rights division, said the party had conducted a one-week investigation.   
   
“The outcome was reported to the leadership earlier this morning, a serious discussion followed and a swift decision was made since it involves the party’s chairman.”
