70-year-old doctor booked for stalking junior colleague, intending to marry her to his son

A 70-year-old doctor practicing in Gwangju, South Korea, faces charges for allegedly stalking a woman in her 20s, whom he intended to marry to his son. The doctor, identified by the initial 'A', was referred to prosecutors in April by the Bukbu Police Station on charges of violating the Stalking Crime Punishment Act.

According to the investigation, Dr. 'A' repeatedly contacted the younger woman, identified as 'B', earlier this year. He allegedly visited her home, rang her doorbell, and fled. The woman, who is a junior colleague from his university, reported these actions to the police in March. Dr. 'A' and Ms. 'B' reportedly do not know each other, and Ms. 'B' has no relationship with the doctor's son.

Despite the ongoing police investigation initiated in March, Dr. 'A' allegedly escalated his actions. About a month after the complaint was filed, he reportedly distributed wedding invitations announcing his marriage to Ms. 'B' and his son. In June, he allegedly sent out reception notices to his acquaintances. The police have confirmed that Ms. 'B' and the doctor's son are not acquainted.

The Gwangju Metropolitan Chapter of the Korean Medical Association stated that they would take necessary measures after verifying the facts of the case. The incident highlights concerns about stalking and the misuse of personal information, particularly when involving a medical professional.
