Annandale Man Charged with Assaulting Falls Church Area Woman at Employment Agency

The woman was allegedly forced to watch pornography

Fairfax County Police have charged an Annandale man with two counts of attempted forcible sodomy for allegedly forcing a Falls Church woman to watch pornography before sexually assaulting her.

According to police, the 41-year-old woman sought help from from the World Employment Agency in Annandale where she was reportedly assaulted by an agency employee around 9 a.m. on July 7.

The incident occurred after the victim was reportedly locked in a room and told to watch a video depicting sexually explicit acts. She fled the building after telling the man that she needed to use the restroom. She suffered non life-threatening injuries, according to the news release.

Police investigated and charged 72-year-old Choon Sik Lee of 7717 Lafayette Forrest Drive, Annandale on July 9.

Police also discovered that a similar second incident occured on May 19 at 8:30 a.m. where a 28-year-old Fairfax City woman also suffered non life-threatening injuries.

Detectives believe there are other woman who haven't reported similar incidents involving Choon Sik Lee or World Employment Agency and are encouraging other victims to step forward. Victims should contact Detective Amy Palizzi at 703-246-7818. Interpretation services will be provided for those who do not speak English.
