Yoo Ah-in booked on charges of same-sex sexual assault against a man 8 years younger than him

According to one media outlet, Yoo Ah-in is accused of sexually assaulting A (30), a man who was sleeping in an officetel in Yongsan-gu on the 14th. Under current law, same-sex sexual assault is considered quasi-rape.
Person A said that on the day of the incident, she was sleeping in the officetel from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. when she woke up and realized that she had been the victim of sexual assault. It is reported that a complaint was filed with the police the next day.
The officetel in question was the residence of a third party, and it is rumored that other men were also present at the scene at the time of the incident. The police are also aware of the possibility that Yoo Ah-in, who is on trial for habitual drug use, may have committed a crime while under the influence of drugs on this day as well.
Yoo Ah-in is being tried on charges of administering propofol 181 times from September 2020 to March 2022, and illegally prescribing and buying sleeping pills in the name of another person from May 2021 to August 2022. On the 24th, the prosecution requested Yoo Ah-in to be sentenced to four years in prison and fined 2 million won and an additional fine of 1.5 million won.
In his final argument on this day, Yoo Ah-in's side appealed for leniency, saying that he was suffering from depression, anxiety disorder, and insomnia, and was recommended to be hospitalized and take sleeping anesthetics at the psychiatry department.
