Male spycams
Listen to this article:
South Korea&#;s spy cam crisis, also known as the Molka crisis, persists despite the country&#;s democratization. Daily illegal spy cameras are placed and found throughout public spaces. These cams disproportionately target women and film their most intimate moments without consent.
The government of South Korea has responded to the issue by implementing laws and policies to deter and penalize offenders. However, failure to address underlying cultural issues allows the crisis to endure. The spy cam crisis is a product of deep-rooted sexism, and without a comprehensive government response, women will continue to suffer.
Spy Cameras and Digital Sex Crimes
Spy cams are tiny, easily concealed cameras that come in different forms. Some are tucked out of sight, while others are disguised as household items. Spy cams have been found in clocks, car keys, USB sticks, and paintings. Digital sex crimes involve taking non-consensual intimate images or videos. Victims of such crimes are often strangers in spaces like toilet stalls, public transit or chan
S Korea woman spycams nude male model, jailed
Seoul: A South Korean court on Monday awarded a rare jail term to a woman for secretly photographing a male nude model, in a case that sparked controversy over double standards.
High-tech South Korea has been battling a growing epidemic of so-called "molka" or spycam videos, which largely involve men secretly filming women in schools, offices, trains, toilets, changing rooms and on the street.
Spycam crimes reported to police surged from around 1, in to more than 6, last year, and many offenders share or barter photos and videos online.
According to official statistics about 98 percent of offenders are men -- ranging from school teachers and college professors to church pastors and police officers -- while more than 80 percent of victims are women.
But in the latest case the woman in her 20s -- also a nude model -- was sentenced to 10 months in prison for taking a picture of her male counterpart at a Seoul art college and sharing it on the internet in May.
She was arrested days later and paraded in front of television cameras whi
South Korea is up in arms over &#;spycam&#; crime
A new South Korean woman has been jailed for secretly photographing a nude male model without his permission.
The year-old, identified only by her surname Ahn, was sentenced to 10 months in prison by Seoul Western District court after she was found to have secretly taken and posted photos online of a male colleague while he posed nude for university arts students.
But the woman’s arrest has sparked a backlash among many women over the perceived double standard when the victim happens to be male.
South Korea is the midst of a &#;spycam&#; epidemic, with authority figures and the country’s government struggling to contain the number of cases of victims — mostly women — being discretely filmed or photographed at compromising angles in public spaces, better known in the United States as “upskirting.”
The country has struggled over the years to deal with perpetrators who exploit tiny cameras or smartphones to film under women’s clothing.
The footage is heavily circulated on illicit porn sites, such as Soranet, which had more tha
Police say men installed spycams in South Korean motels; livestreamed round-the-clock footage of over couples having sex
SEOUL (AFP) - More than South Korean couples were live-streamed having sex in love motels, Seoul police said on Thursday (March 21) in one of the largest-scale and most intrusive examples yet of the country's spycam epidemic.
Hyper-connected South Korea has been battling the proliferation of so-called "molka", or spycam videos, which largely involve men secretly filming women in schools and toilets, among other places.
The latest case is unusual for involving couples and the live-streaming element.
According to police, four men installed tiny cameras - with lens just one millimetre wide - in 42 rooms in 30 motels, hidden inside hairdryer holders, wall sockets and digital TV boxes.
They then live-streamed the footage 24 hours a day to a subscription website with some 4, members and hosted on a server overseas. Some viewers also paid a 50, won (S$60) monthly supplement for access to "exclusive" content - edited highlights available on repeat.
