Mayor Oh is also being accused of being innocent for suing the YouTube channel’s hosts for defamation last year, who alleged sexual harassment.
Mayor Oh resigned as mayor on April 23 after acknowledging the fact of sexual harassment. Police requested an arrest warrant against the mayor in June on 10 charges, including forced harassment, but the court dismissed the warrant, saying: “All evidence was secured and the suspect admitted the crime.”

The Ogeodon Joint Committee on Countermeasures in the Sexual Violence Case criticized the court’s decision in a statement after the order was dismissed. The committee said: “I feel disrespectful to see the justice of our society collapse in the face of the power of the perpetrators,” he said. “It is no excuse to release the perpetrator twice in a situation where it will not be enough even if the alarm to punish the abuser sounds. It cannot be rationalized too,” he said.
