An administrative public official at a girls' high school in the metropolitan area has been arrested after being identified as the perpetrator of a sexual assault case that occurred several years ago.

In 2017, a music festival was held at the Incheon Munhak Stadium.

A woman was sexually assaulted by two men, and the case remained unsolved for a while.

Last year, six years after the crime, DNA from a person called B, who was arrested for another sexual assault case, was confirmed to match that of one of the accomplices in this case, leading to a breakthrough.

After questioning B, who was serving a five-year prison sentence, he identified a man in his 30s, A, as his accomplice.

The police obtained a statement from B that he committed the crime with A and immediately arrested the accomplice at the school where he worked.

At the time of his arrest, A was working as an administrative public official at a girls' high school in Gyeonggi Province, and it is known that he transferred to this school in 2018, after the crime.

[School Official/Voice Altered: "As we said, we don't know the exact details. They just (arrested him) and that was it."]

The school stated that they had no knowledge of A's past crimes and that he did not have a position that involved direct contact with the students.

Person B, who committed the crime with A, was also an administrative public official at a school at the time of his arrest.

Person A admitted to the crime during the police investigation.

The police have arrested A on charges of special rape and collected his DNA for analysis at the National Forensic Service.
