SEOUL: A former South Korean presidential contender stepped down as a provincial governor and announced his retirement from politics Tuesday in a stunning political fall after a female aide accused him of multiple rapes. Ahn Hee-jung ? who came second to current President Moon Jae-in in the contest for the Democratic Party?s presidential nomination last year ? is the most prominent figure to face abuse allegations during a swirling #MeToo movement in what is still a male-dominated society. Kim Ji-eun, who was Ahn?s personal assistant before becoming an aide in civil affairs, told a television interviewer on Monday that Ahn had raped her four times since she was hired in June.
