Jang Hye-young “I didn’t sue Kim Jong-cheol because I didn’t need to recover myself.”

Jang Hye-young, Justice Party member. Dong-A Ilbo DB.
-Justice Party lawmaker Jang Hye-young said that the reason he did not sue after being sexually harassed by former CEO Kim Jong-cheol was “because it was not necessary for the recovery of the damage and because there was trust in the Justice Party.”

Rep. Jang appeared on KBS 9 o’clock news on the 30th and said, “The criminal prosecution procedure is a clear means that victims can choose to restore their rights and return to their daily lives in sex crimes. The reason I was able to choose a community solution was because I had confidence in the Justice Party.”

Rep. Jang added, “I think the party responded with a sense of responsibility to my choice. The perpetrator admitted to the abuse and apologized for it, and the party took the most severe expulsion that the party could take.” .

Rep. Chang said, “When I consider my duties as a public official, I know and agree that it is the only way to make a criminal accusation of the perpetrator to be held legally liable. However, if I proceed with a criminal complaint on the way to recover my daily life, “I didn’t want to suffer the pain I had to suffer during the trial process and the procedure for explaining and explaining the damage I suffered, along with the various pains and secondary injuries to be poured out.” Regarding that a civic group accused former CEO Kim of sexual harassment to the police on the 26th, Rep. Chang said, “If it is done without respecting the victim’s intentions in the process, that is, the efforts to respect the victims and eliminate sex crimes. Is it a real part?” Rep. Chang said, “In this regard, I would like to express my regret for the behavior that clearly did not respect my intentions.” Regarding the reason for the decision to disclose the facts of sexual harassment, “ I was on the way to solve the sexual harassment problem committed by the public party representative, and the way to solve it privately was unimaginable, no matter how much I thought about it.” I didn’t see a way to fulfill my calling.”

Rep. Jang said, “We should pay attention to where the perpetrators fail.” “Many people say that the victim is determined to be a victim, and that only some people do it, and some people are not. It is a prejudice that we have.”
