[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] A report of illegal filming was received at the women's restroom of Madu Station on Subway Line 3 in Gyeonggi Ilsan, and as a result of the police investigation, the suspect was revealed to be a station staff member working at the subway station.
The police also found other obscene videos on the staff member's mobile phone. Accordingly, they plan to investigate whether there is any connection to the so-called Telegram "Nth Room," where child and adolescent sexual exploitation materials were distributed.
According to the Ilsan Dongbu Police Station on the 9th, a report was received at 12:02 a.m. that someone was attempting illegal filming in the women's public restroom inside Madu Station in Ilsandong-gu, Goyang City.
When the police arrived at the scene, the suspect had already left the restroom.
Subsequently, the police analyzed the closed-circuit television (CCTV) within the station and confirmed that a man in his 40s, station staff member A, who works at the station, was seen entering the women's restroom. They arrested Mr. A at around 12:50 a.m. that day.
The police accompanied Mr. A to the local police substation, confiscated his mobile phone, and then released him to go home. They also confirmed that numerous obscene videos were stored on Mr. A's mobile phone.
During the police investigation, Mr. A reportedly denied suspicions of being a member of the Nth Room.
Meanwhile, the police plan to conduct digital forensic work on Mr. A's mobile phone.
