Korean nabbed for roughing up woman
Policemen arrested Friday evening a Korean national for allegedly hurting a 22-year-old woman he had offered to pay for sex at a hotel.
Nam Jae Kim, 51, of Makati City, was also charged with possession of illegal drug paraphernalia when operatives of the Manila Police District (MPD) Malate station 9 found him allegedly holding a piece of aluminum foil with a white powdery substance.
SPO1 Donald Panaligan, of the MPD General Assignment Section (GAS), said the woman told him that she met Kim along Salas Street in Ermita.
The Korean national allegedly offered her P3,000 for sex, to which she agreed.
But as soon as they were inside the hotel room, the Korean started acting violently which scared the woman, who tried to get out of the room.
But the Korean allegedly dragged her back and pushed her onto the bed.
The victim allegedly struggled until she broke free and went out of the room.
The incident left her with bruises on her thigh and an abrasion on her neck.
Kim faces charges of physical injury and violation of Republic Act 9165 or the Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. Jeannette I. Andrade
