Three Seocho-gu District Office officials accused of forced harassment of fellow employees were removed from their positions.

The Seocho Police Station in Seoul is investigating three public officials from Seocho-gu Office on charges of special forced harassment and assistance.

Earlier at the end of last month, an employee of Seocho-gu District Office filed a complaint against them saying they had been sexually assaulted.

The Seocho-gu Office reportedly removed three employees from their positions after receiving a notice from the police last week to open an investigation.
