Victim and perpetrator of sexual harassment end up at same Coast Guard workplace

A member of the Korea Coast Guard who was transferred in 2023 due to allegations of sexual harassment has been assigned back to his original workplace, which is now the same station as his accuser. This situation has sparked controversy, as the victim continues to work at the same location. According to regulations, individuals disciplined for sexual misconduct should not be placed at the same station as their victims for two years. However, the Korea Coast Guard stated that this transfer complied with the rules. The accused officer reportedly told the victim they 'should get along as colleagues,' prompting complaints from the victim to both the Coast Guard and the media. Officials explained that assigning them to separate stations was challenging due to the limited number of stations nationwide, but they claim steps have been taken to ensure the two are in different departments and buildings.
