[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A man in his 30s was arrested by the police for secretly filming inside a room where a woman lived alone through a window gap in a residential area of Seoul.

Seoul Yeongdeungpo Police Station announced on the 15th that they have booked and are investigating a man identified as A on charges of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (filming using a camera, etc.).

According to the police, A is suspected of wandering around a residential area in Daerim-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, around 11:30 p.m. on the 11th, and illegally filming the interior of a woman’s first-floor room visible through a window gap using his mobile phone.
