Businessman denies sex-for-favor scandal

A local construction contractor surnamed Yoon appears before the police Thursday to face questioning over suspicion that he had hired women to provide sexual favors to a number of influential figures in return for business benefits. He denied the allegations, claiming that he did not know former Vice Justice Minister Kim Hak-ui, who resigned amid suspicion that he was one of the people who received the sexual bribery from Yoon.
