Former Mnet 'Superstar K3' contestant Chris Golightly has been sued by his former girlfriend being referred to by the media as 'A'.

A representative from the Seoul Songpa Police Department revealed on April 20th, "Chris Golightly has been sued by 'A' for charges of fraud and intimidation."

According to the police, Chris Golightly borrowed around 32,000,000 Won (around $28,000 USD) from A, which he never paid back. When A asked him to pay back the money she lent him, he sent her a text message saying, "If you sue me, I won't let you get away with it", thereby threatening and intimidating her.

The representative revealed, "He has admitted to borrowing money from her and sending her a text. However, he has said that he had no intentions of not paying her back, or to threaten her. �The police determined that his actions were enough to warrant an arrest, but the court dismissed the application for an arrest warrant. The police are worried he could commit a retaliatory crime, so they are proceeding with the investigation with reinforcements. However, since he is an American citizen, if he leaves the country, the investigation cannot continue; therefore, they have placed a restriction on him from leaving the country."

The former 'American Idol' contestant, Chris Golightly, had been active as a composer in Korea before gaining fame for appearing on 'Superstar K3'. However, after several fans from his fan cafe claimed that he had sexually harrassed them and threatened to sue for causing them mental distress, he was embroiled in a controversy. During a press conference he denied the accusations and revealed that the scandal was due to "cultural differences".

Chris vented about the issue on his Facebook quite a few times, and mentioned that he was going to leave Korea to return to the U.S. However, it seems he had remained in Korea, and won't be leaving until the issues are cleared up.
