In May 2018, Mr. A was handed over to trial on charges of secretly photographing the back of the victim B, who was standing at the door to get off the bus.
It is known that Mr. A stated in a police investigation with the effect that "I took a short shot of about 8 seconds because my face and body looked pretty."
The first trial court found Mr. A guilty and sentenced him to a fine of 700,000 won, but the second trial court found Mr. A innocent.
"The leggings worn by the victims are being used as everyday wear," he said. "Because I am a young woman wearing leggings, it cannot be said to be the object of sexual desire."
But the Supreme Court turned it over again.
The Supreme Court said, "Just because the victim wears leggings for her own convenience, a third party does not have the right to shoot it," said the Supreme Court.
In particular, he emphasized that "the body exposed to the public's view can only be observed for a certain period of time, and there is a limit to memory, but if such an image is filmed, there is a risk of infringing on the personality rights due to fixedness and continuity."
This ruling is interpreted to be more focused on the victim's'right to make sexual self-determination'.
The case was previously convicted by the second trial court, and a second inflict controversy was raised by attaching filmings as evidence to the judgment.
