Female Teacher and Student 'Illegal Filming' with 23 Entries into Women's Restroom... 40s Teacher Sentenced to Prison

[Asia Economy Reporter Joo-mi Lee] A teacher in his 40s who installed illegal hidden cameras at a school was sentenced to prison again in the appellate court.

The Changwon District Court Criminal Division 1 (Chief Judge Choi Bok-gyu) announced on the 25th that A (47), who was indicted for violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, was sentenced to three years in prison, the same as in the first trial.

The court stated the sentencing reason, saying, "Committing this crime against young students and fellow teachers who should be protected and cared for is an unforgivable serious offense," and "The students, who should be growing up, were trapped in darkness filled with mental pain, anxiety, and fear."

From March to June last year, A entered the girls' restroom 23 times at a high school in Gimhae, Gyeongnam, to secretly watch or film female teachers using the restroom.

From April to June of the same year, he installed cameras a total of nine times at the same location, but only captured victims' feet, resulting in an attempted crime.

In May 2019, he installed a camera in the female students' and female teachers' shower room inside the provincial student education center and filmed the victims while showering.

Also, in September 2017, he installed a camera in the girls' restroom of the gymnasium at a high school in Goseong where he was a teacher, but only captured the victim's feet, resulting in an attempted crime.
