Public Corporation Employee Secretly Enters Female Flight Attendant's Restroom... First Trial Fined

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Taewon] A man in his 20s, an employee of a public enterprise under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, who was charged with secretly entering the women's restroom used by female crew members inside the Yongsan Railroad Hall in Seoul, was sentenced to a fine in the first trial.

According to the legal community on the 24th, Judge Jeong Cheolmin of the Criminal Division 7 at the Seoul Western District Court sentenced A (28), who was tried for trespassing, to a fine of 3 million won. The court stated the reason for sentencing, saying, "Although A is a first-time offender, the nature of the crime is not good as he entered the women's restroom at night," and "There has been no change in circumstances since the summary order."

Earlier, A was charged with secretly entering the women's restroom on the 7th floor of the Yongsan Railroad Hall around 11 p.m. on April 23rd, taking advantage of the building manager being on an external patrol. It was investigated that A, who usually accessed the Yongsan Railroad Hall for work, committed the crime out of curiosity as he had never visited the 7th floor where the KTX female crew office is located.

During the trial, A's side claimed, "I entered thinking it was the men's restroom, and there was no intent to trespass into the women's restroom." However, the court did not accept this claim based on the following reasons: the crime occurred on a Saturday evening, which is a holiday; A lingered around the parking lot, went outside when security personnel looked at him, and then re-entered; and he fled when questioned by the security guard.
