An American man has been arrested for illegally filming a woman’s skirt at Gangnam Station in Seoul.
On the 19th, the Suseo Police Station in Seoul announced that they were investigating an American tourist in his 30s for violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (photographing using a camera, etc.).
Mr. A is accused of secretly filming inside the skirt of a woman passing by on the stairs at Exit 11 of Gangnam Station around 5:00 pm on the 8th.
At that time, Mr. A fled about 500m to Gangnam Station Exit 1, but was caught by two citizens who were suspicious of him. The police arrested Mr. A as a criminal and suspended his departure, and the investigation is ongoing.
Mr. A entered Korea on a tourist visa, and was known to have made a statement to the effect of “a designer friend asked me to take pictures of Korean women’s clothes” during a police investigation.
It is known that many other photos of women’s backs were found on Mr. A’s cell phone.
The police plan to investigate whether additional crimes are committed through forensic work.
