The Supreme Court found a 48-year-old man guilty of sexual harassment for
forcing restaurant waitresses to do a "love shot," in which two people snuggle
close and drink with their arms entwined.
"Forcing a love shot when women refuse it... Is tantamount to sexual
harassment," Judge Kim Hwang-Sik said in his ruling quoted by Yonhap news
agency.
The man offered 30,000 won (30 dollars) to a 28-year-old waitress in return for
a love shot with him at a restaurant in a provincial golf course in 2005.
After she refused, he falsely claimed to be the number two man at the course
and threatened that she would lose her job. He then threw his arm around her
neck and did a love shot, rubbing his cheek against hers.
The unidentified man also forced another waitress to do a love shot with his
friend. He had been fined three million won by a lower court but appealed.
