A man who says he was sexually assaulted by a former South Korean diplomat is fighting to have the man extradited back to New Zealand.

Hongkon Kim was the deputy ambassador to new Zealand. He has been charged with three counts of indecent assault at the wellington embassy in 2017.

A warrant for Kim’s arrest was issued in February, but by then he had already left the country.

It's now up to police to request south Korea extradite the man, but the process seems like it's stalled.

The man – who cannot be named for legal reasons – joined Heather du Plessis-Allan to tell his side of the story.
