Nigerian arrested for sexually harassing a South Korea woman


'I struggled as much as I could... I tried to push him off and just wasn¿t strong enough,' she told 60 Minutes 
A Nigerian has been accused of sexually harassing an Australian school teacher, who teaches English in Japan. Airdre Mattner, is accusing the Nigerian of drugging, abducting and rapping her in company with two other accomplices.

Aidre Mattner was alone on a pub crawl in South Korea when a stranger spiked her drink, piled her into a taxi and took her back to a seedy hotel where he and two other men forced themselves on her  last year

Security footage from the hotel, in an area known to locals as 'hookers hill', show two men in white leading a disoriented Ms Mattner inside before they took turns violating her on the bed
The man was arrested after his DNA matched the one taken from the Australian.

According to news.co.au, Mattner who teaches English in Japan, was visiting Seoul with her boyfriend and a friend last September, and decided to stay on a few days alone. She had joined a pub crawl advertised on Facebook to get to know the city better only to be drugged and raped by three men.
Mattner said she had only been on her third drink when the effect of the drug kicked in. She had then found herself hauled into a taxi heading where she didn’t know

“The next thing I recall is being on a bed in a hotel room,” she said. “The man was on top of me. I struggled and tried to push him away but was again too heavily drugged to manage anything.
“I woke up the next morning completely naked. All my money was gone. My clothes and belongings were torn and strewn across the room.”

The police had DNA evidence and security footage of Ms Mattner's alleged attackers (pictured) but closed her case despite the fresh leads

The Australian said she had reported the incident to the South Korean Police but they had reacted unconcerned.

Mattner and her mother subsequently set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to pursue legal action against her attackers. It was only after she began her own private investigation to get justice that the authorities arrested the Nigerian and slammed him with sexual harassment charges which Mattner says is far lesser than the crime he committed.

A CCTV footage which captured the woman been led away by the three men who she accused of raping here has also surfaced. Nigerian arrested for sexually harassing a  South Korea woman
