Sexual Violence Crime within Authority Relations and Gender Sensitivity

On October 5, 2017, the alleged sexual assault of Harvey Weinstein, a famous Hollywood film producer, was revealed. The MeToo campaign, which began with this, quickly spread through SNS. In December 2017, the U.S. weekly magazine TIME selected “The Silence Breaker,” which accused sexual violence through #MeToo, as “Person of the Year.” This proved that the voices of the victims, who summoned the courage to improve the gender discriminating organizational culture, have attracted worldwide attention. In the Republic of Korea, an incumbent prosecutor revealed publicly in January 2018 that she had been sexually harassed in a televised interview, triggering the MeToo movement. Since then, there have been revelations by victims of sexual violence in various sectors of society, including culture and art world. In the process, an actor identified as the perpetrator committed suicide, and many of the victims who participated in the MeToo movement suffered again due to counter-accusation and doxing. In particular, in March 2018, the secretary of the leading politician who was attracting attention as the next presidential candidate appeared on live news and announced her sexual violence damage, and the situation reached its peak. Even the authoritarian remarks made by the accused to the victim were known through the pouring articles. And, over time, the incident has moved away from people’s attention. In September 2019, the politician ended up a criminal with the ruling of the Supreme Court. Now that the vortex of MeToo has passed once, this paper will examine the case, in which first trial that was acquitted on the same issue, and the appeal and Supreme Court that had been convicted are clearly in contrast.
