[Asia Economy Culture Young Intern Reporter] It has been revealed that a high school male student illegally filmed the bodies of his female peers over a long period, prompting the police to launch an investigation.

On the 28th, the Ilsan Dongbu Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced that they have booked and are investigating A, a second-year high school student, without detention on charges of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (filming using cameras, etc.).

A is suspected of illegally filming the bodies of unspecified female peers at school, academies, and on the streets using a mobile phone for over two years since 2020.

The crime was uncovered when photos showing full or lower body parts of female students were found in the 'Recycle Bin,' where deleted files are temporarily stored.

There are three confirmed victims reported by the school, and about 100 illegally filmed photos have been indirectly confirmed, according to the investigation.

Before the police investigation, A discarded the mobile phone used for illegal filming, preventing the police from seizing it.

A reportedly stated, "I made a mistake due to momentary curiosity and mental issues. I am reflecting on my wrongdoing," and added, "The deleted photos remained in the Recycle Bin."

The police plan to call the victims later to verify the facts and identify additional victims.
