An illegal filming incident occurred during a university club MT at a pension in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province.
The Women and Youth Crime Investigation Unit of the Gyeonggi Northern Provincial Police Agency announced on the 14th that they have booked a 20-year-old man, referred to as A, without detention on charges of filming using a camera under the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes.
A is accused of illegally filming fellow university club members by installing his mobile phone in the bathroom of a pension located in Daesung-ri, Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun around 4 AM on the 12th.
Students who discovered the suspiciously placed mobile phone in the bathroom immediately reported it to the police, and upon arrival, the police confirmed illegal filming materials on the device and arrested A in the act.
