An elementary school principal in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, was sentenced to two years in prison for installing a camera in the bathroom of an elementary school female employee.
The 1st Criminal Division of Anyang Branch of the Suwon District Law sentenced A, who was accused of violating the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, to two years in prison and one year of suspension of qualifications.
The court said, "The accused broke into the bathroom to satisfy his sexual desire and installed a camera, so the crime is not light." "Even as the principal of the school, he betrayed the trust of teachers and students. The situation after the crime is not good, such as damaging the police,” he said, explaining the reason for his sentencing.
After installing a miniature camera in the school's female staff's bathroom in October last year, she was brought to trial on charges of secretly filming her.
Mr. A's crime was discovered by a faculty member in October of last year, and the Gyeonggi Office of Education opened a disciplinary committee and fired her Mr. A.
