South Korean president fires her press secretary after he allegedly groped an embassy intern's buttocks

South Korean president Park Geun-hye fired her press secretary this week after he was accused of sexually assaulting a young female Korean employee of the nation's embassy in a downtown Washington, D.C. hotel after drinking late into the evening on Tuesday night.

The former spokesman, Yoon Chang-jung, was sent back to Seoul on Wednesday, while President Park and the rest of her delegation continued from Washington to Los Angeles.

Korea's Yonhap News Agency, which first reported on Yoon's dismissal, obtained a copy of a report from the Washington Metropolitan Police Department which said the suspect 'grabbed her buttocks without her permission' between 9:30 and 10:00 p.m. Tuesday.

The Chosun Ilbo daily newspaper reported Friday morning that the alleged victim felt 'shame and humiliation' and called the police, but no arrest was made.
