Thursday, October 17, 2024 -Former Championship footballer, Hwang Ui-jo is reportedly facing four years in prison after illegally filming himself having s@xual intercourse without permission.
According to French outlet L'Equipe, Hwang
is now facing the prospect of spending four years in prison after it was
revealed he had filmed s@xual encounters with two of his partners.
Prosecutors in the South Korean capital of Seoul, alleged that Hwang filmed
encounters on four different occasions between June and September in
2022.
The case against the forward emerged after
his sister-in-law in fact posted the footage on social media.
Hwang then sought to remove the videos, and sued the sister-in-law for
blackmail, with that suit successful and resulting in a sentence of three
years.
Yet the case against Hwang continued as he
had filmed the videos illegally and without consent.
On Wednesday he made his first appearance in
court in the South Korean capital, apologising for 'disappointment' caused by
his actions.
'I will not do anything wrong in the future
and will do my best as a footballer,' he told the court.
'I sincerely apologise to the victims who
have been affected by my actions, and I am deeply sorry for the disappointment
I have caused to all those who have cared and supported me.'
The prosecution in the case has reportedly sought a four-year sentence for the
player, and appears to be unconvinced by the sincerity of Hwang's
remorse.
'Hwang may have admitted to the charges now,
but his previous denials cast doubt on whether he is truly remorseful,' the
prosecution said.
One of the victims refused to plea bargain
and asked for a severe sentence.'
No details were provided of the women who
appeared in the videos without consent, given the illegal nature of their being
recorded.
