"Why Is There a Lighter in the Women's Restroom?" It Turns Out to Be a Hidden Camera... 20-Year-Old Sentenced for Illegal Restroom Filming

[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] A man in his 20s was sentenced to prison for installing illegal cameras in a women's restroom and repeatedly filming without consent.

Today (26th), the Suwon District Court Criminal Division 9 (Judge Min Park) announced that A (27), who was indicted on charges of illegally filming unspecified women (violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, etc.), was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison. He was also ordered to complete a 40-hour sexual violence treatment program and was banned from employment for 5 years.

A installed a small camera shaped like a lighter in the women's restroom of a karaoke building in Yongin City last February. He was indicted on charges of filming women who used the restroom 27 times over 17 days.

A is also accused of filming 11 videos showing the body parts of 5 women using this camera. Additionally, from January to May, he is charged with filming over 300 videos of sexual acts while visiting various sex trade establishments.

Judge Park stated, "The crime in this case is serious as the defendant trespassed into a restroom used by an unspecified number of women and filmed them multiple times," adding, "Considering that the defendant meticulously planned the crime by preparing a small camera shaped like a lighter in advance, a prison sentence is inevitable."
