”216 victims” Teenager illegally filmed in high school toilet... Sentenced to 6 years in prison (Korea)

A teenager who regularly took illegal photographs in the toilets of the cafeteria and at his high school and distributed the footage was given a heavier sentence than the original trial.
On the 13th, the Gwangju High Court indicted him on charges of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes.
At the appeal sentencing hearing for Defendant A (19), the court overturned the original ruling of four years in prison and sentenced Defendant A to six years in prison.
40 hours of sexual violence treatment program, 10 years of experience working for a child, youth, or disability-related organization
Between mid-September and mid-October of last year, defendant A broke into a restaurant in Jeju City and the girls' bathroom at the high school he attended, and used his mobile phone to target an unspecified number of people.
He was put on trial on suspicion of taking illegal photographs about 200 times in 2016. Defendant A is also suspected of distributing some of the photographs on social media. The number of victims in this case reached 216.
It has been determined that a significant number of these individuals are children or adolescents, and the nature of their crimes is particularly serious. The court stated, "We have determined that it is appropriate to find them guilty of all the charges and to hold them accountable for their actions."
"I hope that I will take full responsibility for the incident and never have to face criminal court again," he said. The crime was committed by Defendant A on October 18 last year, when a teacher found a mobile phone in a school toilet with a camera in the process.
The case came to light when a teacher found a box of tissues and reported it to the police. Defendant A turned himself in the day after the report and was expelled from school. He was sentenced to four years in prison in the first instance, but both the prosecution and the defendant appealed.
Teachers' groups have made it clear that they will take steps to ensure that perpetrators are severely punished.
