By YonhapPublished : May 29, 2018 - 14:52
The government has toughened the punishment of civil servants for hidden camera crimes and other sexual offenses, officials said Tuesday.
The Ministry of Personnel Management said it has revised the decree on disciplinary action against public officials and its enforcement regulation in a way that calls for suspension or heavier disciplinary action against officials involved in such sexual crimes.
The revision also calls for punishing supervisors of offenders if they knowingly overlooked those crimes.
Officials said heavy punishment will be given regardless of the seriousness of those crimes.

Curbing hidden camera crimes has been one of the issues that President Moon Jae-in has placed priority on.
According to the National Police Agency, the number of hidden camera crimes, which stood at 2,400 in 2012, rose to 6,623 in 2014 and declined to 5,185 in 2016.(Yonhap)
