Hello. Attorney specializing in sex crimes, I am a man in my 30s living in Seoul. I took video of my girlfriend and me having relations, or photos of her while she was sleeping, a few times.. My girlfriend found out about this and reported me to the police.. They say it is the offense of illegal filming using a camera; what exactly is it? And I am also curious about the level of punishment.

Hello. This is an attorney specializing in sex crimes at Daeryun Law LLC.
The 'offense of illegal filming using a camera' you mentioned is an offense that applies where a person films the sexual parts of another person's body with a mobile phone, camera, or the like, without that person's consent.
Here, 'sexual parts of the body' can include not only exposed parts but also any scene that, by the standards of ordinary people, could cause sexual shame or displeasure.
In other words, filming a scene of relations with your girlfriend without her consent may constitute the offense of illegal filming using a camera.
If this offense is recognized, you may be subject to imprisonment for up to 7 years or a fine of up to 50 million won at most.
In addition, even a habitual case or an attempted but failed filming can also be subject to punishment.
Therefore, in the current situation, the initial response is very important, and in the course of the investigation, the accurate organization of the facts and whether a settlement is reached with the victim can greatly affect the future disposition.
Rather than responding alone, we recommend that you obtain the help of an attorney specializing in sex crimes who has handled many such cases.
An attorney specializing in sex crimes will help you respond carefully to the investigative agency's inquiry by forming a strategy suited to your situation.
