"Helper Asked to Undress Claiming Child Has Skin Disease"

A man in his 30s was arrested by the police for illegally filming a childcare helper who was taking care of his child by hiding a small camera inside a body wash container.

According to reports from Yonhap News and others on the 30th, the Pyeongtaek Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced that they have taken Mr. A, a man in his 30s, into custody without detention and are investigating him on suspicion of illegally filming a childcare helper by installing a small camera in the bathroom of his home (under the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, including filming using a camera, etc.).

Mr. A is suspected of drilling a hole in a body wash container in his home bathroom around 9 p.m. the previous day and installing a 3 cm-sized small camera inside it to illegally film Ms. B, a childcare helper taking care of his child. On that day, he reportedly told Ms. B, "My child has a skin condition," and asked her to wash the child without clothes on.

Ms. B, who noticed something unusual about the body wash container at the time, told a friend about it, and the friend reported it to the police. The police who arrived at the scene secured the small camera installed in the bathroom and Mr. A’s mobile phone, among other items.

A police official stated, "Mr. A generally admits to the reported allegations," and added, "We plan to identify any additional crimes through forensic analysis of the mobile phone."
