[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A man in his 30s who filmed up a woman’s skirt on subway stairs has been sentenced to prison.

On the 18th, the Busan District Court Criminal Division 10 (Presiding Judge Lee Seong-jin) sentenced Mr. A, who was indicted for filming up women’s skirts with a mobile phone on subway stairs and other locations (violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes), to 1 year and 6 months in prison.

He was also ordered to complete a 40-hour sexual assault treatment program and was banned from employment at child and youth-related institutions for 5 years.

Unemployed Mr. A was indicted for repeatedly filming up women’s skirts or attempting to do so at places such as Oncheon Station on Busan Metro Line 1 on August 3, following a woman named Ms. B with his mobile phone, as well as at subways and large discount stores.

Mr. A is also charged with public obscenity for exposing his genitals at the entrance of an apartment in Geumjeong-gu, Busan, last July.

The court explained the sentencing reason, stating, “Considering the prior record of similar crimes and that the crime was committed during a probation period, a prison sentence was inevitable.”
