An equipment company employee who was handed over to the trial for secretly installing a camera in the actors Shin Se-kyung and Yoon Bomi accommodation during the filming of the entertainment program "Foa without Borders" was given the Probation in the first trial.
Judge Kwon Young-hye, a 14-year-old Detective judge in the Seoul Southern District Court, announced three years of Probation in June of his first prison sentence for A, who was indicted on charges of intrusion into the room and punishment of sexual violence crimes (pictures using cameras, etc.) It also ordered 40 hours of sexual violence treatment classes and 120 hours of community service.
“Innocent Defendant was trying to set up a camera where personal privacy should be respected, and the means and methods of the crime are not good,” Judge Kwon Young-hye said. “It is considered that the crime was heavy because it violated the trust of Victims and committed the crime in a special situation of foreign shooting environment, and the damage feelings of famous entertainers, Victims, were considerable.”
“We considered that Innocent Defendant has been reflecting on the crime since the investigation stage, that there is no history of Detective punishment, and that there was no additional damage, such as the seizure of cameras and the spread of the footage to the outside,” Judge Kwon Young-hye said.
As a result, Mr. A will be restricted from employment in child and youth related organizations and welfare facilities for the disabled for the next three years. He will register personal information with the competent agencies and keep it for 15 years under the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes.
A, an employee of a broadcasting outsourcing equipment company, was handed over to the trial in September last year for allegedly installing a camera in the hostel with an overseas filming of the olive entertainment program "Foa without Borders" starring Shin Se-kyung and Yoon Bomi.
The production team said, "On September 15, 2018, at the end of overseas filming, the filming equipment disguised as a portable auxiliary battery was discovered at the performers Shin Se-kyung and Yoon Bomi accommodation. "The equipment was immediately discovered by Shin Se-kyung immediately after installation and there was no problem at all," he said. "It was confirmed by myself for the first time by myself. The production team and its agency seized all the related equipment and immediately returned home, and after that, a police investigation was conducted with Mr. A's voluntary appearance. "
Shin Se-kyung attended a production presentation of Foa without Borders last November, saying, "I think the purpose and intention of the perpetrator are wrong rather than what data is included in the camera." "I will not be able to pick up the perpetrator because I and my family have been hurt by this incident."
“I think it was accidental when I saw that Innocent Defendant broke into the Victims room and no one was there,” said A and his lawyer at the time of the trial. “He is an exemplary person without a criminal record, but he seems to have committed an accidental crime because he is out of the country.”
