A station employee who illegally filmed a female employee's lounge was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison in the first trial.

A man in his 30s who illegally filmed his colleagues by installing hidden cameras in the lounge of a female subway station employee was sentenced to prison in the first trial.

The Seoul Central District Court today (19th) sentenced a man in his 30s, a former Seoul Transportation Corporation employee, to a year and a half in prison for filming using cameras under the Sexual Violence Punishment Act.

In addition, he ordered the completion of the sexual violence treatment program for 80 hours and restrictions on employment for children, adolescents, and the disabled for three years.

The court explained that Lee agreed with the victims and had no history of punishment, but that the sentence was inevitable due to the high possibility of criticism, such as committing the crime on a long-term basis and falsely claiming that it was ordered by another colleague when the crime was discovered.

Lee was arrested on charges of filming employees changing their clothes by installing hidden cameras in a female employee's lounge in Subway Line 3 station 16 times from last year to this year.
