Hwang Ui-jo of South Korea celebrates after scoring the team’s fourth goal during the FIFA World Cup Asian 2nd qualifier match between South Korea and Singapore at Seoul World Cup Stadium on 16 November 2023 in Seoul, South Korea] “Given the seriousness of the socially harmful effects of illegal filming, it is necessary to punish strictly,” it said.
South Korean footballer Hwang Ui-jo received a suspended one-year jail sentence on Friday for illegally filming sexual encounters with a woman without her consent.
Hwang Ui-jo was indicted for secretly filming two women without their consent on four occasions but the court convicted him in one case and acquitted him in the other.
“Considering that he filmed them with a cellphone during sexual intercourse against their will, the number of times the crime was committed and the specific details of the filmed material, the nature of the crime is not good,” the court said, according to Yonhap news agency.
Hwang Ui-jo’s sister-in-law, who was not named, shared the videos despite “knowing it would be disseminated indiscriminately”, the Seoul Central District Court said in a verdict last year in March.
