Public Enterprise Casino Employee Booked for Sneaking Smartphone Under Women's Restroom Partition

A male executive at a casino operated by a public enterprise has been booked by the police on charges of sliding his smartphone under the partition of a women's restroom.

According to the police and other sources today (the 24th), at around 4:00 PM on the 20th, a female employee at a casino branch in Seoul discovered a smartphone being pushed in under the partition while using a stall in the 5th-floor women's restroom.

The employee quietly went outside the restroom to wait and identified a male team-leader-level employee coming out shortly afterward.

It was reported that the victim felt hesitant to report the incident directly to the police immediately after it occurred and instead asked the company to handle the matter.

In response, the grievance handling department conducted an investigation involving both parties that night and took possession of the employee's smartphone after receiving it.

The following day, on the 21st, the company requested a police investigation into the incident.

The male employee in question has currently been relieved of his duties and placed on standby.

It was reported that the employee denied the allegations the day after the incident occurred.

The police received the complaint and booked the man on charges of violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes (filming using cameras or other devices).

The police plan to summon relevant individuals to take their statements and investigate the exact facts and circumstances of the incident.

A company official stated, "We are responding swiftly based on a zero-tolerance principle with the protection of the victim as our top priority," adding, "We also plan to actively cooperate with the investigation by investigative agencies."
