At the first hearing and final hearing held at the Jeju District Court on the 16th, the prosecution asked A to confiscate the mobile phone used in the crime along with a fine of 5 million won.
A was indicted without detention on September 9 last year on charges of secretly photographing the body of a flight attendant several times with a mobile phone on a domestic flight from Beijing to Jeju.
Such acts are illegal filming using cameras under the Sexual Violence Punishment Act.
In response to the prosecution, Mr. A admitted all charges and showed deep remorse.
"The defendant went on an overseas trip for the first time and committed the crime momentarily because he was excited," A's lawyer said, appealing for leniency, claiming, "He suffered mental pain from the incident for about four months after that, and is now repenting for his mistakes."Mr.
A also told the court, "I took the picture out of curiosity, but I am very sorry to violate Korean law," adding, "I sincerely apologize to the victim and the airline."
The sentencing trial for A will be held in January.
