Jang Ja Yeon's former manager gives statement on ongoing sexual assault case

Jang Ja Yeon's former manager Yoo has given his statement on her ongoing sexual assault case.

As previously reported, Jang Ja Yeon left a written testimony of the sexual assault she endured by the hands of entertainment executives and businessmen before her suicide in March of 2009, and her manager Yoo was the first who shed light on her writings. On the April 30th installment of JTBC's 'Newsroom', Yoo reportedly told police, "The first list Jang Ja Yeon wrote had details of the severe sexual abuse she endured, but I told her to remove that part. Afterwards, she removed it and wrote her testimony again. I cannot name the people who sexually abused her."

However, two weeks after his statement to police, Yoo contacted the investigation committee to state, "Jang Ja Yeon said something similar as Ha So Yeon said in the past, but I didn't ask her about it again." It was also reported police had received other statements by those who know information on Jang Ja Yeon's case.
