[Newsen Reporter Lee Minji] Actress Sunwoo Eunsook's older sister, A, has exposed allegations of sexual assault against Yoo Youngjae.
On December 10, the second trial regarding Yoo Youngjae's alleged violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes was held at the Suwon District Court Seongnam branch (Chief Judge Heo Yong-gu), concerning the charge of forced molestation based on kinship.
The victim of the forced molestation, Sunwoo Eunsook's sister A, appeared as a witness.
As reported by Star News, A testified that “when holding a puppy, Yoo Youngjae twisted my nipple without saying a word.”
A revealed that she had been sexually assaulted multiple times by Yoo Youngjae, stating that the most severe incident occurred when Sunwoo Eunsook was away for work. She claimed, “Yoo Youngjae was wearing nothing on top and had on thin, short, fluttering silk underwear. He lifted my private parts with his hand and said, ‘Isn’t this okay for being 60?’” She further described the incident, stating, “He came from behind and hugged me tightly. His genitals touched my buttocks and I scolded him.”
Yoo Youngjae is accused of having sexually assaulted Sunwoo Eunsook's sister five times from March to October of last year, by making physical contact with her body. During a police investigation, the sister claimed that she was subjected to inappropriate physical contact five times since last year, presenting recorded evidence and a diagnosis of panic disorder.
Yoo Youngjae denied the allegations regarding the sexual assault against Sunwoo Eunsook, stating, “I have been framed with an unerasable punishment like the accusation of sexual assault. If I leave this situation as it is, this dirty sexual assault will end up being treated as true, which is why I have decided to engage in legal disputes.”
Sunwoo Eunsook and Yoo Youngjae reported their marriage in October 2022, but they divorced in April of this year. Sunwoo Eunsook has specifically mentioned that upon learning about Yoo Youngjae's allegations of polygamy and forced molestation against her sister, she also filed for annulment of their marriage.
