Police in Cheonju have asked for an arrest warrant for a 50-year-old man they believe tried to rape his mother-in-law while in drag.
The man, identified as Mr. A, is suspected of putting on a woman’s wig, lipstick, dress and bra to break into his mother-in-law’s second floor apparent on Oct 15, where he attempted to rape his sleeping mother-in-law, age 64.
Granny fought off her attacker, however, and he ran off.
Police believe Mr. A, who lives on the third floor of the building, did it while his common-law wife of a decade was at work.
The mother-in-law apparently had no idea who her attacker was. When she told her son-in-law what happened, he acted as if nothing occurred.
On Sunday, however, police — believing Mr. A to be the culprit — searched his house and found the wig, bra and other evidence.

That is wrong on so many levels. I wonder what tipped off the cops?
speechless
Why is the Korean news getting weirder than the Japanese news?
That’s it! “Hub of Crazy News”! Congratulations Korea!
My, my. I hope the mother-in-law is OK. Sh*t deal for her daughter.
So is the attacker a transvestite heterosexual rapist or a gender-confused lesbian rapist ?
If the mother-in-law could not identify the attacker, one must presume the attack, although successful fought off by the mother-in-law (thank goodness) at least progressed far enough along to allow the mother-in-law to realize she was dealing with a male rapist (well it could have been a 3 o’clock shadow I suppose, but if he was Korean, chances are body hair was not a factor).
If the mother-in-law could not identify her attacker then why were the police searching her son-in-law’s apartment?
Curiously, if he is living common law with the victum’s daughter, one would suppose there would be female clothing about the apartment. I guess the son-in-law was a different size than his common law spouse. Too bad for him, because then they could not share clothing.
If he wears the same size, perhaps the mother-in-law recognized her attacker was actually wearing her daughter’s clothes ? Egad, he must have had a lot of faith in his make-up then as a disguise.
Let’s presume he wore his own clothes(unidentifiable by his mother-in-law),and that his hair and make-up were impecable (thus for all intents and purposes his disguise was sufficient to hide his identity from someone who knew him for a decade or so [WOW]) then the most disturbing possibility may be that the mother-in-law was able to identify her attacker from his “Johnson” alone.
If you could, please keep us updated on this story. I am ashamedly dying for details.
And why is the spouse a “Common Law Wife”? Why can’t she just be a “girlfriend” like everyone has?
Seriously, what’s the criteria to be “wife” in these stories?
lupin ….I presume “Common Law Wife” means they have been living together for an extended period of time, but are not legally married.
I am not that familiar with the laws in Korea, but in Canada if a couple live together for a certain period of time, they are determined for legal purposes to be common-law husband and wife, which has implications regarding property ownership, income taxes, health care/insurance, seperation/devorce consequences etc.
I wish I could spell :/, or type, or both :$
(6.) hitest – Um, thanks…
I know what the *legal* definition of “common law wife” is – but how do reporters make the cut-off? Stories from the USA often have couples who are common-law spouses referred to as boyfriend & girlfriend – the wording choice is done by the reporter.
More to the point, English-teachers with a live-in-girlfriend never have a “common law wife”…
Lupin, English teachers with a live-in girlfriend/boyfriend probably don’t live together long enough to be considered as common law spouses. And unless the girlfriend/boyfriend is Korean, the gubmint wouldn’t care anyway.
“Lupin, English teachers with a live-in girlfriend/boyfriend probably don’t live together long enough to be considered as common law spouses.”
I know of a few couples who have been/were together for seven, eight or ten + years.
“And unless the girlfriend/boyfriend is Korean, the gubmint wouldn’t care anyway.”
All of the couples I’m thinking of are/were foreign/Korean couples. Without an official marriage and/or F2/F5 status, it means zilch.
Unless things have changed Korea doesn’t recognize common-law marriage.

Sounds like a hit show.
Too bad he was not apprehended in drag. It would have been a sight when he was dragged (pun intended) into the police station.
by the way wjk’s been posting on politics i’d say his incident with the law must have shaken him up a bit.
