HUFS began an investigation into an alleged sexual molestation case between students.

The Autonomous Library at HUFS put up a poster in the Humanities Building on March 15, which stated, “The university fact-finding committee should examine this case quickly and carefully.”

According to the poster, an anonymous female student was sexually harassed by a male senior from her department at her house last November.

The poster said she accepted her senior’s request to wash off at her studio because “it was late at that time and she could not brush him off out of concern for his inability to go elsewhere in the cold weather.”

After entering her home, however, the senior “raced up to her bed without consent and tried to forcibly kiss her.” She “definitely showed her disapproval but his molestation did not stop.”

Her senior is still in school while she is receiving mental health treatment, the poster added.

The Seoul Dongdaemun Police Office charged her senior with abuse and handed this case over to the prosecution. The HUFS Fact-finding Committee accepted the case on Feb. 27 and started its own investigation on March 17.

“Whether the case will be referred to the disciplinary committee depends on the findings of the committee,” said Lee Seul, a student member of the fact-finding committee and the president of the Emergency Planning Committee of the Seoul Campus.
