She was walking home from work when the man, who has been accused of many other attacks, began following her.
"He came inside my apartment building and sexually assaulted me," she told police.
The unnamed victim explained that the suspect, a wealthy professional with a half a dozen other victims, was well known to police.
She revealed he was soon caught, explaining to Canadian news site CKNW.com: “They caught him, soon after, in a different neighbourhood, preying on a different female.
“His family started coming to my apartment building, because in Korea you are allowed to bribe the accuser not to press charges.”

She wouldn’t take the money, the case went to trial, and she won.
But it was thrown out on appeal.
“The first trial, I won the first trial… and then during the second trial, he won… and he won because it came out that the original police report didn’t say that I was raped.”
The man she named as her rapist is now taking her to court to accuse her of lying - a crime for which she, if found guilty, could be sent to prison for.
She said: ”He is now trying to press criminal charges against me, so I have to speak to the police officers. I’ve spoken to them once. He’s trying to charge me with false accusation and perjury, basically lying on the stand.
“I decided after that point just to close that chapter in my life and move on, and then this just reopened everything, all over again.”
