It was confirmed that Jeon Cheong-jo (27), who was known to be the remarried partner of former national fencing team member Nam Hyun-hee (42), claimed that the assault on Nam’s nephew was “an act of discipline.”
On the 4th, the Seongnam Jungwon Police Station in Gyeonggi Province investigated Mr. Jeon, who is suspected of violating the Child Welfare Act (child abuse), making threats, and violating the Stalking Punishment Act, as a suspect.
Mr. Jeon is accused of hitting Mr. Nam’s nephew, middle school student A, on the buttocks about 10 times with the handle of a children’s golf club about 1 meter long at Nam’s mother’s house in Jungwon-gu, Seongnam-si on August 31.
Previously, in April, Mr. Jeon was accused of sending threatening messages to Mr. Nam, saying, “I will make sure you have no friends around you,” and “I will send bodyguards to the school to do the work,” on the grounds that Mr. A was asking for pocket money from Mr. Nam.
Mr. Jeon admitted to the two charges and made a statement to the effect that “I did it for disciplinary purposes.”
It was reported that the investigation on this day was conducted by police officers from Seongnam Jungwon Police Station who went to Songpa Police Station in Seoul, where Mr. Jeon was detained.
Mr. Jeon’s ‘golf club assault’ case had already been reported to the police by a child protection agency last September, but during the investigation so far, Mr. A denied the damage, saying, “I have never been assaulted.”
However, Mr. Jeon, who received a breakup notice from Mr. Nam, was booked by the police on charges of stalking on the 26th of last month, and after Mr. Jeon’s gender, criminal record, and suspicions of impersonating a third-generation chaebol emerged to the surface, Mr. A is said to have made a truthful statement to the police. .
In addition, the police announced that they had also completed an investigation into Mr. Jeon’s mother, Mr. B, who is accused of making unwanted contact with Mr. Nam (violation of the Stalking Punishment Act).
Mr. B is accused of continuously contacting Mr. Nam against his will, including calling and sending messages to Mr. Nam about 20 times on the 30th of last month.
Mr. B told the police, “I felt sorry for my child (Mr. Jeon) who was separated from Mr. Nam, so I contacted him to try to reconnect the two.”
A police official said, “Seongnam Jungwon Police Station has investigated three cases, including Jeon Cheong-jo’s stalking of Nam Hyun-hee, Jeon Cheong-jo’s assault and intimidation of Nam Hyun-hee’s niece, and Jeon Cheong-jo’s mother’s stalking of Nam Hyun-hee, all of which have been investigated more than once.” “We will decide later whether to investigate and transfer the case,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Songpa Police Station in Seoul is in charge of various fraud cases, which are the main stream of the Jeon case investigation.
According to the police, Mr. Jeon is accused of stealing money from people he met while giving lectures and other things in the name of investment money, or inducing them to take out loans for this purpose.
The number of victims of fraud identified by the police so far is 15, and the amount of damage exceeds 1.9 billion won. The amount of damage may increase as the investigation progresses.
On the 3rd, the police arrested Jeon on charges of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes (fraud).
Mr. Jeon is said to have admitted to all of these charges.
Mr. Nam, who is suspected of conspiring with or assisting Mr. Jeon’s crime, submitted the Bentley car and various jewelry he received from Mr. Jeon to the police, and in response to related suspicions, he claimed, “I was used more thoroughly than anyone else (by Mr. Jeon).”
