Police are investigating the CEO of a Chinese company's Korean offshoot for allegedly sexually assaulting two Korean stewardesses in their 20s on his personal jet.
According to Seoul Gangnam police on Thursday, the Chinese CEO allegedly assaulted the stewardesses separately on the jet in February and March.
The man had hired the women to work as stewardesses and his personal secretary.
Police suspect sexual assaults also happened in other locations, including hotels.
The victims filed a complaint in April and police started investigating.
Police said the man denied the allegations, but signed a settlement with the two women, who dropped their complaint in July.
Police said they will continue their investigation because the man's alleged crimes are still punishable regardless of the agreement.
