Korean woman sues US police officer

A Korean woman, who works at a massage parlor in Georgia State in the United States, is preparing to sue a police officer, who arrested her for prostitution after receiving oral sex from her, JoongAng Ilbo newspaper said Saturday.

The 29-yer-old woman, identified only as Cho, plans to sue the American law enforcement officer, whose name was not identified, for "unnecessary sexual violence," JoongAng said citing local newspaper reports.

Cho is willing to reconsider her $500,000 lawsuit if the police officer is willing to consider dropping his case of arresting her for prostitution, it said.

According to the piece, the plainclothes officer came to the place where she worked, asked for oral sex for $80. After the "service," he arrested her for prostitution.

After realizing his client was a police officer, Cho preserved the condom used by the police officer in a refrigerator. She plans to submit it as evidence in case she has to really proceed with the planned suit, it said.

According to JoongAng, the local police bureau said, "There are no specific rules on how the prostitution crackdown should be conducted. But we tell our police officers not to engage in unnecessary sexual activities."
