Civil servant fired for photos of colleagues’ underwear

A civil servant in his 50s was dismissed from his position at Namyangju City Hall after it was found that he had secretly taken photos of female colleagues’ underwear by wedging a mobile phone inside his shoes.

The police investigation took place following a report of the man’s suspicious behavior. They had found an upskirt video of women taken between May and June. 

Namyangju City Hall had dismissed the accused on July 4 after he was booked without detention by the police.

Eleven victims have been identified so far.

The police said Monday they have requested to search the accused’s desktop hard drive in order to determine whether there are more victims.
