Former Nottingham Forest player Hwang Ui-Jo has been given a suspended sentence after being accused of filming his sex partners without their consent.
South Korea prosecutors told the Seoul Central District Court that Hwang who spent two years at Nottingham Forest filmed two of his partners without their consent on four separate occasions between June and September 2022.
The Court convicted him of charges related to one woman but acquitted him of charges for the other. After being convicted Hwang, 32, was given a one-year suspended sentence – with the court taking both his remorse and the fact the video was never shared or redistributed into account as mitigation.
According to the Korea Times, the judge said: “Considering that he filmed them with a cellphone during sexual intercourse against their will, the number of times the crime was committed and the specific details of the filmed material, the nature of the crime is not good.
“Given the seriousness of the socially harmful effects of illegal filming, it is necessary to punish strictly.”
Hwang, currently plays for Alanyaspor in the Turkish Super League, also – although most of that time he was out on loan.
