A study has found that last year Sadang Station was the site of the most sex crimes committed in the history of the Seoul subway system.

On September 10 Lee Myeong-su, a Liberty Forward Party member of the National Assembly’s public administration and security committee, released National Police Agency statistics showing that last year there were 1,192 sex crimes committed on the subway.

173 of them were committed at Sadang Station, followed by the 170 at Seoul Station, 108 at Seoul National University Station, 95 at Seoul National University of Education Station, and 82 at Sindorim Station.

659 were committed on line two, followed by 264 on line one and 135 on line four.

There were 464 attacks in 2008, 674 in 2009, and 1,192 in 2010, and there have been 841 through July of this year.

Also, there were 20 sex crimes on the Busan subway system, 10 on the Daegu subway system, 4 on the Daejeon subway system, and 3 on the Incheon subway system.

Rep. Lee said that “the subway system is the representative mass transit system used by a large number of our citizens… we need to take measures such as installing more security cameras to eliminate sex crimes.”
