Seoul to check public toilets daily for hidden cameras

Authorities in theSouth Korean capital, Seoul, are to carry out daily checks in all public toilets for hidden cameras.

This comes as reports emerge of just how serious the problem of secret cameras in toilets and changing rooms is - more than 6,000 cases of 'spy cam porn' were reported last year.

The videos are often uploaded online without the knowledge of the victims. Activists say women live in constant fear of being photographed or filmed without their knowledge - around 80 per cent of victims are female.

Seoul's public toilets are currently only inspected for hidden cameras about once a month however  staff will now be asked to check every day.
