Another Incident Following 'Masked Naked Man': This Time a Man in Fishnet Stockings?

Amid a series of reports regarding suspected forcible indecency and other crimes committed by a masked naked man near the Sinchon campus of Yonsei University in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, another man in his 40s has been apprehended by police for entering a women's restroom wearing only fishnet stockings over his naked body in the same district.

The Seoul Seodaemun Police Station announced that it is investigating a man in his 40s, designated as A, after booking him on charges of entering a public facility for sexual purposes under the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes.

A is suspected of entering a women's restroom at around 7:30 p.m. on August 21 in a commercial building located in Hongje-dong, Seodaemun-gu, while wearing nothing but fishnet stockings.

According to reports, when a woman inside the restroom spotted A and attempted to report him, A fled into the men's restroom, changed his clothes, and escaped outside the building.

Upon receiving the report, the police identified A using photographs taken by the reporter and CCTV footage, and accompanied him voluntarily near the scene about an hour after the crime.

Police plan to investigate the motive and the specific details of the incident.

Meanwhile, police are also tracking the "masked naked man" who has been spotted three times near the Yonsei University area over the past two months.

Following a report of forcible indecency near the dormitory on June 12, a naked man was spotted hiding in the bushes along the Ansan trail on July 21.

On August 19, a masked naked man forcibly groped a current student near the Muak Dormitory and fled.

Police are analyzing CCTV footage and DNA, keeping the possibility in mind that all three incidents may have been committed by the same person.
