The Uiwang Police Station in Gyeonggi announced on the 9th that they have booked and are investigating Mr. A, a man in his 30s working at a certain bank, without detention on charges of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (use of cameras, etc.).

Mr. A is suspected of installing a small camera under the desk of female employee Ms. B in the bank office located in Uiwang City, where he works, last September, secretly filming parts of Ms. B's body.
