The statement accused Yun Chang Jung, former spokesman for Chongwadae, of committing a sex scandal against a woman on May 7 while he was accompanying the chief executive during her junket to the U.S.

The statement went on:

This prompted police to rush to the scene and sparked off foreign media's criticism.

That's why Yun was sent back to south Korea and dismissed from the post.

The responsibility for this case clearly rests with the present chief executive.

Such case occurred as the chief executive appointed Yun as a spokesman for Chongwadae despite the opposition from various circles.

What he did was a sexual abuse perpetrated by using "government" power, the statement noted, urging the present chief executive to thoroughly probe the truth about the case, own responsibility for it and sincerely apologize to the people and the victim.
