It was belatedly known that Yoo Yeon-soo (38), a former national badminton team member who was investigated by the police on suspicion of attempting to sexually assault a Korean woman in the United States a year ago, was acquitted by the prosecution.
According to the legal community on the 25th, the Incheon District Prosecutors’ Office did not indict Mr. Yoo, who was accused of attempted rape, last month.
The prosecution did not hand Mr. Yoo over to trial, saying there was no charge due to insufficient evidence.
Mr. Yoo was suspected of attempting to sexually assault a Korean woman, Mr. A, in the United States in July of last year. He was first arrested by U.S. investigative authorities following Ms. A’s report, and later returned to Korea after being released on bail.
After returning to Korea, Mr. A again filed a complaint against Mr. Yoo to the Korean police, and the police forwarded the case to the prosecution in January.
Mr. Yoo won a gold medal in the badminton team event at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games. She also won medals three times at the World Championships. He reportedly worked as a freelance coach until last year after retiring in 2022.
