A woman who reported a sexual abuse complaint against South Korean presidential spokesman Yoon Chang-jung in Washington, D.C. has resigned from her job at the Korean Cultural Center.

The center said the resignation is actually a coincidence since it had been known that she was going to quit after the presidential visit to the United States by Park Geun-hye.

The woman shared a hotel room with an intern who has allegedly been sexually abused by presidential spokesman Yoon and heard the “incident” after which she decided to report it to the police.

According to informed sources, the woman saw the intern crying at the press center at the Fairfax Hotel and said she will report the incident to the police.
