According to the JoongAng Ilbo newspaper, on the 5th, prosecutors in Ha Ri Su County, Texas, announced that they had indicted NASA engineer A on four additional counts of sexual assault.
On February 29, Houston police arrested Suspect A at the NASA Johnson Space Center in the Houston area on suspicion of sexually assaulting two women.
In addition, between 2019 and 2022, suspect A sexually assaulted six women he met through multiple dating apps, threatening them by saying, "If you report them to the police, we will make the videos of your sexual relations public."
At a press conference held on the 3rd, the Ha Ri Su County Prosecutor's Office called Suspect A a "serial sex offender" and said, "Suspect A used his employment at NASA to attract women.
"We believe there may be additional victims, given that he frequently traveled overseas to Japan, the UK, Canada, and other countries," he said. "Currently, he is estimated to have owed $600,000 (approximately 91 million yen)."
He was released after paying bail of 1,000 yen, but was ordered by the court to be under house arrest for 24 hours." Meanwhile, the defense for suspect A said, "All of the relationships were consensual."
"The women are making false allegations and we will prove their innocence to a jury," he said. In 2012, the suspect attended North Carolina State University and worked as an intern at NASA.
