Late last year, he suffered a horrific incident in his dorm room.

He was taking a nap and someone groped his chest and woke up, he said it was Pastor A.

[Miss B/Voice Modified: “Come up during lunch, sit on the bed, put your hand inside the (bed) curtain, touch your chest and belly, talk to the friend in front of you. I’m so embarrassed that I can’t move my body. It was.”]

He put his hand inside his clothes even though he had a friend right in front of him.

Ms. B said that this kind of contact was frequent, and that some of her friends had the same experience.

[Soundbite] [Soundbite] Ms. B/Voice Modified : “It’s time to go to school after the vacation, so I tried to take her, but the child refused, crying. She didn’t sleep or eat at night, and didn’t do anything else. She didn’t go outside…”]

Apology , but Pastor A denied that it was a misunderstanding.

[Pastor A/Voice Modified: “I think you guys probably went to wake me up for something else that day. You can think that because you went to touch it on purpose…”] [Miss B/Voice Modified: “Then why did you put your hand on your chest

? “]

[Pastor A/Voice Modified: “I don’t remember doing that to you. Do you repay the favor that way?”] After

receiving the complaint, the police launched an investigation.

Pastor A also interrupted the victims while talking about financial support or studying abroad.

[Soundbite C/Voice Modified: “They said they would give you a massage, but they came up like this from the ankle to the calf, but if I stayed still, I thought you’d touch the woman’s lower part… My hand came in like this, but I pressed it with my arm.”] Confess to a teacher about the

damage I let go, but the teacher who tried to help said that he had to quit school.

After that, she couldn’t ask for help from anyone, let alone her family.

] He was someone I knew well.

[Pastor A/Voice Modified: “You said you would send me to study in the U.S., but if you think about that, I hope you don’t think that I intentionally harmed you. Until now, I’ve given you everything you want to eat and wear.”] Desperate victims

supported A volunteer who came out of the activity started to speak out one by one after witnessing the sexual harassment scene.

[Volunteer: “When I brought up the story slightly, it was just children who had the experience of disappearing even the teacher, so I thought I should inform the lawyer about this.”]

On the day the victims met with the reporters, the school suddenly announced that it was on vacation and closed.

KBS asked Pastor A if he acknowledged the contents of the complaint, and Pastor A denied that it was true.
