SOUTH Korea’s highest court dismissed claims for compensation from the initiator of the country’s #MeToo movement today, after she had filed suit against a boss over alleged sexual abuse.  

Seo Ji-hyun said she was groped by her superior Ahn Tae-geun at a funeral in 2010, and that he had her transferred from Seoul to a provincial position after she filed an internal complaint, blighting her career as a state prosecutor.
