[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] The principal of an elementary school, who was arrested and indicted on charges of secretly installing a camera in the women's restroom to illegally film, admitted all charges at the first trial.

At the first trial held on the 22nd at the Suwon District Court Anyang Branch, 1st Criminal Division (Presiding Judge Kim Jun-young), Mr. A (57) responded "Yes, that's correct" when asked by the judge, "Do you admit the charges?" Regarding the desire for a jury trial, he said, "I do not want it."

Mr. A, the principal of an elementary school in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, is accused of placing a small camera on the toilet seat in the women's staff restroom at the school on October 26-27, hidden under tissue paper, with the intent to film women. He is also accused of secretly installing a mobile phone under a conference table in video recording mode 21 times from June to October, filming the body parts of staff members or attempting to do so.

Additionally, Mr. A is under investigation for installing a small voice recorder in the teachers' office around the same period and recording conversations of staff members without their consent 11 times.

Mr. A's crimes were uncovered on October 27 when a staff member who was about to use the restroom discovered the small camera.

The police, who responded to the report, found Mr. A, the school administrator, suspicious due to his passive attitude toward the report and confirmed the crime after an interview. Mr. A was then urgently arrested on the 28th of the same month. The next trial for Mr. A is scheduled for January 21 of next year.
