A man who was caught by police Thursday morning for sexually assaulting a woman on the subway turned out to be a judge on the Seoul High Court.
The judge, surnamed Hwang, submitted his resignation yesterday, and it was accepted by the Supreme Court.
�Given the graveness of the incident, the Supreme Court immediately accepted Hwang�s resignation,� said a Supreme Court official.
In Korea, the Supreme Court has administrative power over the judiciary.
The Supreme Court originally planned to discuss disciplinary measures for Hwang in a meeting yesterday, but then decided to accept his resignation.
It said it would appoint a replacement on May 2.
According to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency�s subway investigation unit, Hwang was arrested by undercover officers on charges of rubbing his body against a woman in a crowded subway car heading from Jamsil Station to Seoul National University of Education Station on line No. 2 at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
Undercover police followed Hwang because he was acting suspiciously and saw him targeting the woman and touching her.
Police let the female go at 9:05 a.m. after questioning her and took Hwang for questioning at a subway police office in Isu Station.
Police said Hwang first denied the complaint but eventually admitted it. Police released Hwang at 11 a.m. and reported the incident to the Seoul High Court.
Journalists were unable to reach Hwang.

| It makes you wonder how long he's been doing this, and if he's been caught before and used his political influence to get away with it. Hopefully there'll be a full investigation. |

| Genuinely surprised he didn't use the "I was drunk" defense like 95% of Korean ajosshis use when they do something horrible in public. |

It's surprising that that there are undercover police on the Seoul subway system. It's news to me. I hope they bust others because there is no excuse for this kind of activity. |

Good to hear about the police doing something proactive rather than reactive. Considering the police near me seem only to sleep in their running car all day, it is heartening.

Well, even an adjosshi has to be sober sometimes. It was 8:30am on a Thursday. I guess he still could've been drunk from the night before though  |

It's not just a Korean thing, this happens in the States all the time. South Park's "Sexual Healing" offers a good summary. |

The papers said they would be implemented in 2008, but as far as I know it never materialized. |

| With the way rules/laws are observed here, I can totally see female only cars being blatantly ignored, particularly by ajossis. |
