‘Peeping Toms’ in South Korea could face chemical castration.
KFI: The National Assembly in South Korea is expected to introduce a stronger law soon that would punish “peeping toms.”
They’ll consider a bill requiring castration for sex offenders who spy on others against their knowledge or will with hidden cameras.
The bill was proposed last week as part of an effort to fight these kinds of crimes, which have increased rapidly in the last few years.
Last year the number of sex crimes involving hidden cameras was 5,185, jumping way up from 1,523 in 2011. They account for 20% of all sex crimes.
Right now chemical castration can only be applied to those who are found guilty of sexually assaulting minors under 16-years-old.
Out of all the places I’ve traveled in SE Asia, South
Korea was the scariest liberty port brief. If jailed there,
your embassy has to feed and clothe you.
I was a very good boy whenever I was there!
They Don’t Mess Around do They ! They will Save Alot of Future Enforcement Funds, and it only Costs Them Chemical $$$ and a Doctor Fee. How Much Chemical’s is it Gonna Take anyway…They’re Korean for Gods Sake !!!
Have they tried ice picks?
“Peeping Kim” would be a tad more appropriate.
Evidently not as serious as stealing a poster however.
