The victims of the so-called’Ki Seong-yong (FC Seoul) alleged sexual violence in elementary school days’ changed their position not to disclose the’evidence’ to the public.
Ki Sung-yong, who has already announced his policy of responding strongly legally, has no choice but to take the case to court in order to restore his honor.
Attorneys C and D’s attorney, Park Ji-hoon, who claim to be victims of the incident, released a press release late at night on the 1st and expressed their hope that Ki Sung-yong would promptly file a civil and criminal lawsuit against them.
He added, “We will submit the evidence to the investigative agency and the court so that only Ki Sung-yong and his attorney can see it.”
In two days, he overturned the declaration that he would disclose’evidence’, and expressed his intention to cover the truth in court, not in public opinion.
Attorney Park explained the reason, “In the evidence, there are many other people besides Ki Sung-yong players and victims,” and “Please understand that it is difficult to disclose evidence to the public even in terms of protecting their moral rights.”
Earlier on the 27th, after the opening game of the K-League 1 in professional football, Ki Sung-yong gave a press conference and urged him, “If there is evidence, I hope to present the evidence as soon as possible”. I will release all the evidence sooner or later.”
The sexual violence case claimed by the victims, even if true, passed the prescription, and it was difficult for the victims to sue Ki Sung-yong first to hold civil and criminal liability.
As the victims declared’evidence public’, the case seemed to flow into public opinion trials, but the ball suddenly shifted to Ki Sung-yong as they suddenly changed their position.
Ki Sung-yong had already announced at a press conference on the 27th that “we will take all measures legally.” He also said, “We have already undertaken legal proceedings.”
According to this position, Ki Sung-yong will soon sue Mrs. C and Mrs. D for defamation due to false information in a timely manner, while also holding civil liability.
The facts of the sexual assault case, which is’the main case’, and whether C and D’s claims are true are also expected to be covered in the lawsuit in which Ki Sung-yong became the plaintiff. In the process, Ki Sung-Yong and his family could also get’injured’. It is expected that it will be a not small burden for the club in Seoul as well.
It became important whether Ki Sung-yong, who has been stubbornly insisting on’innocence’, is willing to break through the case head-on.
Ki Sung-yong said at a press conference, “There is no mercy in the future,” and “There are many people (I have) who can testify to the situation at that time at any time.”
Earlier, on the 24th, Mr. C and Mr. D revealed through Park’s lawyer that they were sexually assaulted by their seniors A and B in January-June 2000 while they were in soccer at an elementary school in Jeollanam-do. yunhap news
