According to the New York Times and court documents:
Choi Yu-jin immigrated to the United States with her family at the age of 10.
The woman named
With excellent grades, he attended the University of Denver Law School and served as an intern at the Prosecutor’s Office and the Attorney General’s Office.
After graduating from law school in 2018, he was hired by the Prosecutor’s Office in 2019.
Starting in 2020, he was promoted to the behavioral health department in charge of drug possession and violations.
In 2022, he was even promoted to Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Household Department.
Meanwhile, in 2021, I worked in the police force for 20 years.
He even fabricated text messages against criminal investigators and falsely committed suicide.
The victim, a criminal investigator, said there was no such record.
Let’s even request data through the telecommunications company.
Using the prosecutor’s position
I even modified the Excel file that was the data I received from the telecommunications company.
Following irregularities such as creating records that did not exist,
Choi Yu-jin falsely stated that she had no records because her cell phone and laptop were broken and replaced.
In the end, when all of this was revealed, he was fired from the prosecutor’s office.
Subsequently, he was recently stripped of his license as a lawyer.
The victims include Choi Yu-jin, the false perpetrator last month.
Filed a lawsuit against the city and the prosecutor’s office
