The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office's Women and Children's Crime Investigation Division 1 had initially indicted and charged Taeil and the other two defendants involved on charges of sexual assault.
The three perpetrators were never detained, as the court had ruled in their favour, saying that admitting the crime themselves cited them as having a low possibility of running away.
