[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A man in his 40s who habitually entered a women's restroom on a university campus in Seoul has been apprehended.

On the 27th, the Seoul Bangbae Police Station announced that they had booked office worker A (41) without detention on charges of public place intrusion for sexual purposes and building intrusion, and sent him to the prosecution with a recommendation for indictment.

According to the police, A is suspected of entering the women's restroom on a university campus located in Seocho-gu, Seoul, more than 70 times over the course of one year from November 2018 to November last year.

The police received multiple reports from students stating "a man entered the women's restroom," and noting that all reports came on Mondays, they conducted a stakeout at the location on Monday, November 18 of last year, eventually arresting A.

Afterward, the police received additional reports suggesting sightings of A at the same location, and by analyzing one year’s worth of nearby CCTV footage, they confirmed that A habitually entered the restroom.
