[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin, Legal Affairs Specialist] On the 11th, the son of a golf resort chairman and his accomplice were arrested on charges of illegally filming sexual encounters with multiple women.

Kwon Mo, the son of a corporate chairman who operates a large golf resort in Gyeonggi Province and a Christian media company, is accused of illegally filming and storing sexual encounters with several women over several years. The illegal footage stored on his mobile phone and other devices is estimated to number at least several dozen, with the number of victims also reaching dozens. It is reported that some of the victims include minors.

Earlier, the police applied for arrest warrants against Kwon and his accomplice, Seong Mo, on charges of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (filming using cameras, etc.), and the prosecution requested the court to issue arrest warrants for both individuals.

At around 1:38 p.m. on the day, the two arrived at the Seoul Central District Court in Seocho-dong, Seoul, to attend the pre-arrest detention hearing (warrant substantive examination). When asked by reporters questions such as "Do you admit the charges?" and "Why did you try to flee?" they did not respond and entered the courthouse.

Presiding over the warrant substantive examination as the duty judge on the weekend, Deputy Chief Judge Yang Hwan-seung of the Seoul Central District Court issued arrest warrants for both individuals at around 6:20 p.m., stating, "The criminal charges are substantiated, and there is a risk of evidence destruction and flight."

Kwon was urgently detained by the police on the 8th while attempting to leave for the United States through Incheon Airport. The police suspect that Kwon used narcotic drugs and encouraged some of the female victims to do so.

The police plan to conduct supplementary investigations regarding Kwon's alleged violation of the Narcotics Control Act.
