Junior high school boys peeping into each other's bathroom... Judgment recognizes ``sexual violence/school violence'' = South Korea

A court has ruled that watching a same-sex friend relieve himself in the toilet at school is sexual assault and school violence. The Incheon District Court held that Mr. A, a junior high school student, attended a certain school in Incheon.
It was announced on the 14th that a judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed against the superintendent of the Educational Support Agency to cancel the notice of action taken by the School Violence Countermeasures Deliberation Committee.
Last April, when Mr. A was in the first year of junior high school, he and Mr. B were playing a prank in the school toilet by splashing water on them.
Later, when Mr. B went into the toilet stall to relieve himself and locked the door, Mr. A went into the next room, climbed on top of the toilet bowl, and peered in from above. Z
Mr. B, who was taking down his bong to relieve himself, expressed his displeasure to Mr. A, saying, ``Don't cross the line.'' Mr. B reported the incident to the school, and a month later, a school violence countermeasures deliberation committee was held. A is your own gender
Looking at the situation, Mr. B claims that the apology was not done properly. In a written opinion submitted to the school, Mr. B said, ``It seems that Mr. A was playing a prank, but the damage was significant,'' and ``I don't want to do things like this anymore.''
I would like it to be made so that it is not possible to do so." The school violence deliberation committee determined that Mr. A's actions constituted school violence that falls under the category of sexual violence, and sentenced him to four hours of volunteer work and four hours of special education. In addition, “I met with Mr. B.”
"You may not touch them, threaten them, or engage in retaliation." In response to this, Mr. A filed a lawsuit through his guardian. Mr. A said, ``I went into the private room next door thinking that Mr. B was going to play hide and seek.
``It seemed like he was relieving himself, so I got off the toilet.'' The court also argued that ``sexual violence cannot be established because the victim saw her friend relieve herself due to negligence and not intentional intent.''
The court recognized that the incident was school violence due to sexual assault. The trial chamber stated, ``A claimed that he played hide-and-seek, but considering the age and intelligence of the two, the circumstances were enough to mislead.
The court concluded that, ``It is difficult to imagine that Mr. A could not have foreseen the fact that Mr. B might urinate or defecate in the private room of the restroom.''
The court also stated that ``B expressed that he felt considerable mental shock and sexual shame,'' and explained that A had violated B's right to sexual self-determination.
