So I have a bit of an issue. I was recently hanging out with a friend who assaulted me physically and sexually. He is Korean American and holds an f-4 visa like me.
Anyways, we didn’t even drink alcohol. Just some instant ramen and soda. I’m sure I was drugged because how do I just black out like that, plus when I woke up, there were pills everywhere. I tried to leave the next morning because I woke up naked, so I was really scared and disgusted. But that’s when he physically assaulted me. I got bruises everywhere. When I got outside he kept following me and yelling at me, I had to get a random guy to tell him to go away.
I took this to the police, told them what happened and told them I don’t know for sure if I was raped, but I was definitely assualted by him. They took me to the hospital where they drug test, rape kit, etc. they also took photos of all of my injuries. My elbow isn’t broken, but it was bruised and swollen bad for days and still hurts.
I don’t know what will happen. Or who will win the case. But I’ve heard horror stories. I blocked the guy who did this to me on social media and kakao talk, but he messaged me from different accounts saying he’s going to sue me and work hard and pay his lawyer 10s or thousands of dollars and put me in jail and if I need to talk to him then to contact him on kakao talk. Obviously I’m not going to respond or talk to him. But isn’t this harassment now?
I don’t know if Korea takes cases like this seriously, so if I tell the cop working on my case about these messages, would it even make a difference?
I told the truth, but based off of others stories, I’m nervous for the outcome since I am still an American. I don’t want him to win this case. I don’t even care about his money. But people like this need to be locked up. Women, especially foreign women, in Korea please be careful who you hangout with. Anyone can seem like a great friend but they can switch just like that.
