Most Sex Crimes Happen on Subway Line No. 2

Most sexual offenses on the subway occurred on Line No. 2, the Seoul Metropolitan Police said Sunday. Based on investigation of 345 sex offenders apprehended on subway trains since January, the subway police squad said line No. 2 saw 213 or 61.7 percent of all offenses. It was followed by Line No. 4 (52 or 15.1 percent) and Line No. 1 (18 or 5.2 percent).

Lee Sang-man, a senior officer at the Seoul subway police squad, said such crimes occur most frequently between Seoul National University and Jamsil stations. "The reason seems to be that many women commute to the Gangnam region and they wear relatively low-cut dresses and short skirts," he claimed.

Some 221 or 64.1 percent of the offenders groped women on the subway trains, mostly during morning rush hours. The hours between 7 and 9 a.m. were the most dangerous time for women since many people rush into or out of subway trains at the same time and many victims reluctantly ignore the groping as they are in a hurry to get to work.

The Korean police don't seem to care about the issue. Is anyone surprised?

well in all fairness, Korean girls are asking for it sometimes..
I mean like , some of those skirts are so short now, you can see their panties while they walk.. western people are supposed to be open minded and less conservative they ASIANS... but any women seen wearing half the things korean girls wear downtown would be labeled a *beep*, *beep* or both...

There did seem to be some excusing being made by the police.

"so the problem is that we can't arrest offenders even if we have evidence unless the victims want to seek punishment for them,"


Strange though that the Chosun Ilbo didn't accompany this piece with usual selection of upskirt photos themselves.

What surprises me is the officer's suggestion that the police actually prosecute rather than sit perpetrator and victim in the same room and make them apologise to each other.

How many of those cases have been accidental due to bad subway driving? :b If it's all that crowded, something like that could just happen...

I nearly fondled a girl on the bus today when she fell on top of me.

A freebie if I were a boy, but I'm a girl who likes guys, not Korean girls in short skirts.

Does being sexual verbal count? I mean, if a k-girl wears a short skirt, then she should expect at least some compliments on promoting her figure.

I'm surprised this is only starting to become a problem. This is a Huge problem in Japan.

it's a good thing that in order to touch it required such a long push didn't it? In Korea you get that valuable extra second or two to reconsider such an act.

otherwise you'd have been a perv.

??????????????

that's what an "Islamic" interpretation says - that men cannot control themselves when presented with beautiful womanly things, so they must be hidden.

Logically, I'm sure you understand this is a ridiculous argument.

I'm also sure you understand the you can look at the menu but cannot touch argument (one used by most married guys about what they cannot get away with anymore)

personally I'm annoyed someone takes away my pleasure of looking by being unable to keep his hands to himself.

this line of thinking also leads to far more pernicious problem down the road

aka

if she comes up to my appt, she really wants it, no matter what she says
or
if she changes her mind and screams out no, during foreplay, she doesn't mean that as well.

WTF?

Shocked

The reason it happens down there is probably because of all of the bikini and sex bars down in the SNU of Education area, and along that area of Line 2 in general.

As usual, it's blamed on the women.


What amazes me is they claim to have caught so many. HOW? If that figure is true, then knowing how the system works around here, can you imagine how many have gotten away?

This makes no sense. Why would a perv use your hand rather than his own to cop a feel?
