A 35-year-old taxation public servant is facing criminal charges for forcing a 37-year-old prostitute to sign a “sex-slave” contract, Yonhap News reported Tuesday.

The public servant in North Chungcheong Province first met the sex worker in a red light district late in 2012, according to the news agency. The taxation officer became a patron of hers and learned that she was in financial trouble. He began to lend her money from July 2013 on the condition that she provide sex without charging him if she cannot pay the money back in time.

Under one IOU that the sex worker signed on July 11, 2013, she has to return the principal of 10 million won ($9,230) and interest of 1.3 million won in 20 installments over the period of 10 months.

If she fails to fulfill it, she should stay with him for a day and do what she is instructed to do by him. If she borrows money from someone else within the contract period, she has to obey the lender for a month.

The public servant reportedly had a sexual intercourse with her 26 times over the past 18 months for the breach of a contract. She borrowed a total of 40 million won from him during the period.

When she refused to sleep with him, he allegedly threatened her, by saying he will divulge to her family that she works for a brothel in a red light district.

The public servant reportedly accessed the contact details and other personal details of the sex worker and her family to coerce “sex slavery.”

He is facing charges of coercion and violating the personal information protection law.
