On the 23rd, the Samsan Police Station in Incheon announced that they have apprehended A (19) on charges of filming using a camera under the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes and are investigating the case.

A is suspected of filming the back of a woman in her 20s, B, wearing leggings with a smartphone camera at a crosswalk in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, around 4:10 p.m. on the 21st.
