(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jeong Rae-won = A civil servant who put his body fluids on a co-worker’s tumblr filed a lawsuit against the dismissal, but lost.

According to the legal community on the 26th, the 2nd administrative division of the Seoul Administrative Court (Chief Judge Shin Myung-hee) ruled that the plaintiff lost the lawsuit against the dismissal of the civil servant A.

Person A took a female colleague’s tumbler or bottle of water to the bathroom and put body fluids in it or buried it 6 times.

In April of the same year, the court was sentenced to a fine of 3 million won for property damage.

After the verdict, he claimed that it was “an act of destruction of property, not sexual harassment,” and requested that the dismissal be canceled.

In particular, he asserted, “The choice of which device to use for masturbation is a sexual freedom that belongs to the right to sexual self-determination and the right to pursue happiness.”

However, the court did not accept this, saying, “The act of making the other person feel sexually humiliated or disgusted is sexual harassment.”

The court emphasized, “This case of sexual objectification of a specific co-worker cannot be viewed as simply staying in the sexual realm of an individual that belongs to the plaintiff’s right to sexual self-determination and pursuit of happiness.”

He also judged that “it was a very serious and repeated offense that undermined not only the plaintiff himself but also the public’s trust in the public service society.”
