'Shock' This Time a Middle School Student Secretly Filmed in Alma Mater's Girls' Restroom

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] A teenage boy who illegally filmed in the restroom of the elementary school he graduated from has been caught.

The Masan Dongbu Police Station in Gyeongnam announced on the 11th that they have booked middle school student A (14, male) without detention on charges of illegal filming in a school restroom.

A is accused of secretly entering the girls' restroom of an elementary school in Changwon around 1 p.m. on May 26 and illegally filming with his mobile phone.

It was confirmed that A visited the elementary school he graduated from two years ago after he stopped attending school due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

A school official who was in the restroom at the time reported to the police, and A was caught through analysis of closed-circuit television (CCTV).

The police stated that A admitted to the charges. They plan to transfer A to the prosecution once the investigation is completed.

According to the Ministry of Education's sexual harassment guidelines, if a sexual crime occurs on campus, the school must report it to a higher authority.

However, the school in question has become controversial for not reporting the crime to the Office of Education despite being aware of it. The school explained to the Gyeongsangnam-do Office of Education that the report was omitted because they "were not aware of (the Ministry of Education guidelines)."

The Gyeongnam Office of Education has stated that it will take measures against the school for violating the sexual crime reporting regulations belatedly.
