Hwang Ui-jo Pleads Guilty to Illegal Filming

South Korean footballer Hwang Ui-jo pleaded guilty to illegally filming sexual encounters without consent, facing a demand for a four-year prison sentence from prosecutors. The incidents occurred between June and September 2022, and the case emerged after Hwang's sister-in-law attempted to blackmail him by posting the videos online. She was sentenced to three years in prison for her actions. In court, Hwang expressed deep remorse for his actions, stating he was sorry for the harm caused to the victims and those who supported him. He has since transferred from Nottingham Forest to Turkish club Alanyaspor and is scheduled for sentencing on December 18, 2024. Prosecutors are withholding details about the victims to protect them from further harm.
