An Australian woman who was allegedly drugged and raped during a night out in Seoul is now involved in a public battle with South Korean police. Korean police posted an open letter to this rape victim but a controversy arose over.


Australian teacher, Airdre Mattner said she was drugged and raped in Seoul last year but she said Korean police were dismissive and did not perform essential tests.

On 1st April, the Korean police posted an open letter to the rape victim, Airdre Mattner on their Facebook page but a controversy arose over again.

Airdre Mattner said on Korea FM, I felt harassed and unsafe because of the amount of information they had released that I had never previously released myself to anyone, anywhere. And I had not given them permission for this information to be made public, either. And Im not going to engage in the public standoff that they seem to be looking for.
