Professor under investigation over sexual harassment

By Park Si-soo

A community college professor is being investigated for alleged sexual harassment against female staff members, police said Sunday.

Gumi Police Station said three women filed a complaint early this month, claiming the professor made “inappropriate” physical contact several times between 2006 and 2016.

The school’s audit team recently interrogated the women and then asked school authorities to sack the professor. Police said they would summon the professor soon.

According to reports, the professor, 55, has worked at the collage for nearly 20 years, during which he was once chairman of an intramural anti-sexual crime committee.
