On the 17th, the prosecution filed an appeal with the Suwon District Court's Criminal Appeals Department 6 (Chief Judges Kwak Hyung-seop, Kim Eun-jung, and Kang Hee-kyung) on the grounds of legal misunderstanding.
Oh Young-soo was indicted without detention in November 2022 on charges of forced harassment twice, including hugging a woman A on a local promenade in 2017 and kissing her on the cheek in front of her residence.
The first trial court found the victim's statement credible and sentenced Oh Young-soo to eight months in prison and two years of probation, but both Oh Young-soo and the prosecution submitted appeals, and the appeals court overturned the original trial, judging that he was not guilty.
On the 11th, the Suwon District Court's Criminal Appeals Department 6 overturned and acquitted Oh Young-soo of eight months in prison and two years of probation in the first trial.
The court said "The fact that the victim visited the sexual violence counseling center about six months after the incident and informed the people around him, and that the defendant sent an apology message makes us doubt whether there was forced harassment, as in the case of the prosecution.""However, it is impossible to rule out the possibility that the memory has been distorted over time, and if reasonable doubt remains, it should be judged as the defendant's interest."It was judged.
Meanwhile, Oh Young-soo appeared in the Netflix drama 『Squid Game』 and drew attention with 『Grandfather of Gullaby』, becoming the first Korean actor to receive the Best Supporting Actor award in the Golden Globe TV category in January 2022.
