The National Bureau of Investigation has arrested a Korean for allegedly beating his Filipina girlfriend several times in their condominium unit in Manila.
NBI officer-in-charge Director Eric Distor identified the suspect as Kang Min Seok. He is facing charges for violating Republic Act 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2002
Distor said the Korean was arrested by operatives of the NBI International Operations Division (NBI-IOD) last Aug. 23.
The NBI said they acted on the complaint of his girlfriend who has been living with the Korean.
“Complainant was subjected to medical examination and results indicated hematoma on the left lateral eyelid, abrasions on the left forehead, multiple purplish contusions on the left and right forearms and both knees, and lacerations on the ventral right hand and ventral left wrist,” the NBI said.
The NBI said the complainant recounted that the Korean has “subjected her to physical, psychological, and economic abuse in the course of their relationship.”
The woman complained that her boyfriend has an insatiable appetite for sex that led him to “obtain the services of women engaged in paid sexual services.”
“There were times, however, that she could no longer take that set up so it would lead to arguments and eventually, physical altercation,” the NBI said.
“Subject also required the complainant to join him in his use of illicit drugs which she acceded to so as not to cause further arguments,” it added.
