South Korean Politician Who Quit Over Sexual Assault Accusation Apologizes

SEOUL (Reuters) - A one-time rising star in South Korea's ruling party, who quit his political post this week hours after an aide accused him of sexual assault, apologized on Friday in his first public appearance since the accusations emerged.

The downfall of An Hee-jung, who was governor of South Chungcheong province and a hopeful in last year's presidential election, comes as the #MeToo movement against sexual assault and harassment has taken off in the male-dominated society.
