the original and relevant OP got pulled before i could even ascertain why it was controversial.

it's relevant and important, so here's round 2. i've cut it down to a simple "yes - no" answer.

have you been sexually assaulted?

hmm, it apparently got pulled because I posted that after 3 days of research I couldn't find any decent victim support services in Korea. I also posted some useful information and an intent to provide more, waiting on mod response for this one, curious why it got pulled without an explanation.

I say no, but there was this one married woman that made it very difficult to say . . . I had to repeat myself over and over again.

break in and attempted rape foiled by me screaming my lungs out. The police were called, they asked if anything was taken and left

Really? There was no investigation? No search for fingerprints, or inspection of any security camera tapes?
Did you or do you have any idea who it was? Did you try pressing the police to pursue further?

I'm not trying to be nosy- I just hate to think something like this could happen, especially in a developed country.

I'm really sorry to hear of it though.

Yeah, pretty useless in most cases. A friend was almost killed by another guy, but police didn't charge the other guy, and when friend went to the hospital to get his stitches and staples, the cops said it was his fault, so the hospital refused to take his insurance card.

Nice that cops are so helpful.

No investigation, no fingerprint search, no security cameras to check. No clue who it was, hadn't been in Korea very long at the time. I called the embassy to see what they could do, and their answer was nothing

As a side note, it makes me ill to see the numbers in the poll whe
