[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] A man in his 30s who installed a hidden camera in the changing room of female nurses was sentenced to prison.

The Ulsan District Court, 6th Criminal Division (Presiding Judge Hwang Bo-seung-hyeok), announced on the 17th that A (32), who was indicted for violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, was sentenced to 4 months in prison. He was also ordered to complete a 40-hour sexual violence treatment program.

The court stated the sentencing reasons, saying, "It is acknowledged that he is a first-time offender with no prior criminal record and that the hidden camera was discovered the next morning immediately after installation, so no actual filming took place. However, considering that the break room is a place used as a changing room by female nurses, that he denied the crime and did not admit wrongdoing, and that the victim nurses want punishment."

A was prosecuted for secretly entering the break room used as a changing room for nurses at a hospital in Dong-gu, Ulsan, in April last year and installing a miniature camera in the ceiling ventilation fan.
