Sex crime attorney, does secretly filming a woman's legs also constitute a sex crime?

Hello. I am a sex crime attorney at Daeryun Law Firm (LLC).

As you asked, secretly filming a woman's legs with a mobile phone on the subway is clearly a sex crime.

Many people think of 'sexual violence' as only rape or forced indecent acts, but any act that can cause sexual humiliation against the will of the other person is subject to punishment as sexual violence.

Illegal filming, that is, hidden cameras, is severely punished under the「Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sex Crimes」as follows.

The sex crime attorney will explain in detail.

Article 14 of the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sex Crimes (Filming using cameras, etc.)

(1) A person who films a person's body that may cause sexual desire or shame using a camera or other device with similar functions against the will of the subject of filming shall be punished by imprisonment for up to 7 years or a fine of up to 50 million won.

In addition, attempted and habitual offenders of such acts are also subject to punishment.

In conclusion, secretly filming a woman's body on the subway is not something that can be dismissed as mere mischief or curiosity, but a serious sex crime, and can actually lead to severe criminal punishment, so special caution is required.

For detailed matters, please confirm through consultation with a sex crime attorney.
