Korean man in S'pore secretly filmed ex-girlfriend's nude video calls, discovered by new girlfriend
She subsequently brought the videos to the police.
A South Korean man from Singapore secretly captured his ex-girlfriend's nude video calls over a period of six months in 2023. The 44-year-old pleaded guilty to filming a person without consent and violating the Films Act, receiving a three-month jail term. The incident began when the two met on Tinder in 2022 and maintained their relationship through video calls while apart.
Despite the victim's repeated requests not to be recorded, he claimed ignorance about recording his screen. Between February and October 2023, he secretly recorded 17 nude videos, saving them on a hard drive at his residence for personal enjoyment. After their breakup in January 2024, his new girlfriend found the hard drive while cleaning his apartment and confronted him about deleting the videos.
Afraid of evidence against him, the man destroyed the hard drive. His girlfriend revealed his actions on social media, leading his ex-girlfriend to call and express suicidal thoughts. The defendant, claiming leniency due to emotional distress, offered no acknowledgment of wrongdoing. However, his girlfriend had already given police copies of the videos, leading to his arrest.
