A Frenchman was arrested for using a “hidden camera” in the men’s changing room of a Seoul swimming pool, police said Sunday.

The man, 57, will be indicted on charges of violating acts regarding sexual crimes, according to Songpa Police Station.

The incident happened on June 4. The man entered the changing room of the Olympics Swimming Pool about 5 p.m. with a small video camera hidden in a bucket of shower products. He turned it on and recorded for 30 minutes before pool workers caught him.

The pool was the swimming venue during the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

Police said they are still investigating whether the man used the camera at other locations.
