Police say statute of limitations expired for KFA's sexual entertainment allegations

The Korea Times reports that police have determined the statute of limitations has expired for allegations that the Korea Football Association (KFA) offered sexual entertainment to foreign referees between 2011 and 2012. The football governing body recently faced allegations of paying for sexual entertainment for visiting referees at massage parlors and other adult establishments before and after international matches held in Korea during that period.

The National Police Agency official stated that the statute of limitations has expired for the charge of facilitating prostitution, and authorities will look further into the case. The allegations stem from a 2016 government audit report, and an investigation has been ongoing.
