I told you a few months ago that the instructor had committed a sexual offense against female students who were trying to learn to drive, but yesterday (2nd), this man was sentenced to prison. Some women find out about the damage too late, but they complain that they are afraid to ask for compensation.
The reason was covered by reporter Jo Yoon-ha.

[June 18, SBS 8 News: A 30-year-old instructor who illegally filmed female students who came for driving training was caught by the police.] A
camera was installed under the steering wheel to illegally film and distribute the body of female students. The court sentenced two years and six months in prison yesterday to a driving instructor, Choi Mo, who was charged with doing so.
The court pointed out, "Mr. Choi treated the victims as sexual objects, and the victims must have felt shock and sexual discomfort, but they were not forgiven."
Despite the verdict, victims of illegal filming are hesitant to receive compensation from Choi.
A woman who took driving lessons from Choi two years ago.
He later found out that he was also a victim through the police investigation, but gave up on the claim for damages.
In the course of the lawsuit, personal information such as home address is inevitably exposed to Mr. Choi, and the thought of it is terrifying.
[Mr. A / Victim Student: I felt a bit afraid that if I was identified, I would be retaliated against. How do you come out of prison and find me after being released? .]
It has been pointed out that legal supplementation is necessary because of this problem.
Bills have been proposed to oblige victims to disclose their identity without the deliberation of the Crime Victims Protection Committee, either ex officio by the court or at the request of the victim when claiming damages, but all are pending in the National Assembly.
As institutional arrangements are delayed, the pain of crime victims only deepens.
