Victim from Kang Ji-hwan's case reportedly tried to call 13 times.

Actor Kang Ji-hwan recently made a statement apologizing to the victims about the malicious comments they're receiving online because they didn't directly call police.

In response to netizen accusations, their lawyer revealed to Channel A on the 14th that "the reason why the victims weren't able to reach police was because there was no cell service at the house."

According to the lawyer, "Victim 'A's phone call records revealed that she tried to make a total of 13 calls to police and Kang Ji-wan's agency officials and acquaintances to no avail. She was able to send the SMS message to the acquaintance because of an available WI-FI connection."

An official in-charge of the Gangwon branch confirmed that he received a report of a repeated caller from that night but they weren't able to make a direct connection.

In the meantime police recently summoned the acquaintance that made the 112 call and are continuing investigations in the alleged sexual assault.
