SEOUL — A 2nd Infantry Division soldier is expected to be charged next week with raping a South Korean woman in June, U.S. military and South Korean officials said Wednesday.

The man also made financial settlements with two other women who say the 23-year-old raped or tried to rape them in August, officials said.

The soldier, whose full name is not being released, is a Korean-American whose last name is Kim, said Lee Hong-jae, chief prosecutor for the Seoul Central Prosecutor Office. The soldier won’t be tried for the alleged attacks in August because the women withdrew their complaints against him.

U.S. Forces Korea cannot release the soldier’s name before he is indicted, spokesman Dave Palmer said.

Kim allegedly raped the 21-year-old woman at 4 a.m. June 14 in Dongducheon, then beat her face and head and took her cell phone so she couldn’t call police. Lee said the woman immediately reported her case to South Korean police, who collected DNA samples from the attacker’s semen.

She was not seriously injured, he said.

The soldier allegedly met another South Korean woman at a club in Seoul’s popular Hongdae district in August, took her to a deserted area and raped her. He was detained and questioned by USFK police after allegedly trying to rape another South Korean woman he met in a Hongdae club in August.

South Korean police suspected the same man might be involved in all three cases and asked USFK for help.

A DNA sample of Kim’s saliva matched DNA from the semen samples taken after the Dongducheon attack.

The two women withdrew their complaints against the soldier after he agreed to financial settlements with them.

Criminal cases are commonly settled outside court in South Korea through financial settlements.

Palmer said the soldier made the settlements privately and will pay them himself.

Seoul Central District Court issued a detention warrant Monday for Kim, who has been held at Camp Humphreys since August.

Kim will be turned over to South Korean custody when he is indicted, probably Oct. 30 or 31, Lee said.

South Korea’s Ministry of Justice is expected to send USFK an official request soon to transfer Kim to their custody, as required by the Status of Forces Agreement between the two countries. That agreement says an indictment must be filed within 24 hours of the transfer.

USFK did not answer questions about whether military police will increase patrols in Hongdae, which has been off-limits to U.S. troops from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. since last year, when a U.S. soldier raped a 67-year-old woman there.
