B.A.P's Himchan sexually harassed a foreigners at a bar ... First hearing in December

 

B.A.P's Himchan is summoned to court again for sexual harassment. The first hearing is planned to be held in December. 

Previously, the court charged Himchan for sexual harassment without detention. Himchan is suspected of sexually harassing 2 women at a bar located in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on April 17. The victims claim that Himchan embraced their waists and touched their chests. One of the victims is a foreigner.

Public outrage is more likely to grow even bigger given that Himchan's trial is for a completely different case now.

Previously in July 2018, Himchan was indicted after sexually harassing a woman in her 20s who visited a pension in Namyang, Gyeonggi Province. The first trial court that took place on February 21 sentenced Himchan to 10 months in prison and to complete 40 hours of sexual assault treatment program. Himchan was not detained as the court said, "We will be giving an opportunity for Himchan to try to get forgiveness from the victim." 

At that time, Himchan denied the charges and filed an appeal saying, "We liked each other and there was consent." However, he eventually admitted to all the charges in the second trial. Himchan wrote a reflection letter that was submitted through his attorney. It is revealed that Himchan needs 2 months for the deposition process.

The court explains, "He received a sentence to prison in the first trial. If the appeal was dismissed, he has no other choice but to serve time in prison. The deposition should be done. That way we can reconsider the punishment."

This trial is still on-going. Another hearing is planned to be held on the upcoming 15th. 

Himchan is also under fire for driving under the influence. On October 26th last year, he crashed into a guardrail while driving under the influence near Hakdong intersection in Gangnam, Seoul. At that time, the alcohol concentration in his blood was high enough for his driving license to be revoked.

-Once a sexual offender, they will always be a sexual offender

-People should be really careful with people like him. Be careful, guys. I don't think he's gonna get back to his right mind.

-Again??? He sexually harassed 2 women this time...

-I really liked him in B.A.P... This is f*cking annoying

-Oh Gosh, this is really pissing me off. Stop mentioning his group's name nowㅠㅠ

-Why does he live his life like that...

-That's crazy... Looks like he just doesn't care anymore...

-Is he giving up on his life?

-That's literally a disease... How can you fix that?

-Again...??

-I'm sure he actually has done it dozen times. It's just that he only got caught twice.

-Wow... This guy is legendary...
