It has emerged that Jang (24), who was arrested on charges of fatally stabbing an unrelated female high school student in downtown Gwangju, was recently sued by another woman over an alleged sex crime.

According to the Gwangju Police Agency on the 11th, a migrant woman, Ms. A, submitted a complaint to a police station in North Gyeongsang Province on the 4th stating that she had been the victim of a sex crime by Jang, a part-time coworker. On the 3rd, after Jang loitered around her home in Gwangju, Ms. A also reported stalking to police.

Ms. A, who relocated from Gwangju to the North Gyeongsang area that day, is said to have gone to the local police station the next day and filed a complaint, stating she had suffered a sex crime at the hands of Jang.

The complaint has been transferred to the Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station, which is currently investigating Jang, and police are verifying the facts. However, it is reported that Jang was unaware he had been accused of a sex crime to the police.

At around 12:11 a.m. on the 5th, Jang fatally stabbed a 17-year-old female high school student, Ms. B, who was walking home on a sidewalk near a university in Wolgye-dong, Gwangsan-gu. He also wielded the weapon at a 17-year-old male high school student, Mr. C, who came to the scene after hearing her screams to help. Mr. C was injured and is being treated at a hospital. Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju is moving to designate Mr. C as a righteous person.

After arresting Jang on the 7th on charges of murder and attempted murder, police are investigating whether the incident involving Ms. A influenced his crimes.

On the 8th, police convened the Personal Information Disclosure Review Committee regarding Jang, who has been arrested on charges of murder and attempted murder, and resolved to ‘disclose’ his personal information. However, because Jang did not consent to disclosure, there is a five-day grace period, and the information will be released for one month starting on the 14th.

In a test for antisocial personality disorder (psychopathy) conducted by police, Jang was found not to meet the criteria for a psychopath.
