Adult company chief suspected of sexually exploiting employees

According to multiple South Korean news outlets, including JTBC and Yonhap News Agency, the CEO of an adult products company based in South Korea, identified as Yang, was arrested by police on March 20, 2023, on charges related to the alleged sexual exploitation of his employees. The arrest came after several complaints were filed against him for various offenses, including the illegal filming of another person's body without consent, fraud, and coercion into adultery.

The illegal filming charge stems from an incident where Yang allegedly secretly recorded a video of a female employee without her knowledge or consent. The victim only became aware of the incident when the video was leaked online, leading her to file a police report.

Regarding the fraud charge, Yang is accused of deceiving investors by providing false information about the financial status and future prospects of his company. He allegedly promised high returns and potential business opportunities to attract investors, but failed to deliver on those promises.

Lastly, Yang is also under investigation for coercing an employee into having an extramarital affair with him. The employee, who is married, claims that Yang threatened to terminate her employment if she refused his advances.

Police are currently conducting a thorough investigation into these allegations and have confiscated evidence from Yang's office and residence. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to be released as information becomes available.

This incident has sparked public outrage and calls for stricter regulations and penalties for sexual harassment and exploitation in the workplace. The South Korean government has promised to take action and has announced plans to strengthen labor laws and increase penalties for such offenses.

It is important to note that all allegations against Yang are still under investigation and have not been proven in a court of law. Yang has not made any public statements regarding these allegations.
