A Korean American man was arrested in Seoul’s Yeongdeungpo District for allegedly taking upskirt photographs of a woman near a subway station on June 1, reports Yonhap News Agency.
The suspect, identified only by his surname Kim, was in the act of taking photos under a woman’s skirt when she noticed and screamed at him. Kim fled, only to be apprehended by a nearby off-duty police officer.
According to Yonhap, Kim “barely speaks Korean” and had demanded to be allowed to return to the United States during the investigation. Although Kim is currently not in police custody, the police have referred the case to prosecutors and requested them to charge Kim with violating laws on sexual violence.
