A court found a woman guilty of filing a false rape accusation against a man with whom she had consensual sex. Surveillance footage and mobile messages exchanged with the man on the day of the incident served as critical evidence.
Judge Lee Byung-ho of the Criminal 7th Single Division of Changwon District Court sentenced Ms. A, a woman in her 40s, to six months in prison with a two-year suspended sentence on charges of false accusation, the court announced on the 28th.
According to the ruling, Ms. A submitted a false report to Changwon Jungbu Police Station on February 25, claiming, “I was sexually assaulted by Mr. B at a hotel in Seongsan-gu, Changwon City, on February 7.” She repeated this claim during subsequent police investigations. However, the investigation confirmed that the two had engaged in consensual sex, with no evidence of rape.
During the trial, Ms. A continued to deny the charges, asserting, “I was not raped, but I was subjected to quasi-rape.” She argued she was in a state of “loss of mental faculties” or “inability to resist” at the time, making physical or psychological resistance impossible.
The court rejected this argument. Surveillance camera footage and KakaoTalk messages exchanged with Mr. B were decisive.
After leaving the hotel on the day of the incident, Ms. A was seen walking side by side with Mr. B, exchanging hand gestures and parting ways. She also did not mention the alleged assault to acquaintances she met immediately afterward.
