A court slapped a hefty fine on a man on charges of attempting to sneak into women’s washroom to quench his sexual desire, sources said Friday.

The Ulsan District Court on Friday imposed on the accused one million won in fine with 40 hours of sex crime therapy.

Last year, the office worker found himself in the men’s washroom on the fourth floor of a high-rise residential building allegedly with his libido on the verge of exploding.

As the man was about to get across to the entrance of the feminine sanctuary, a woman inside the washroom noticed his presence and alarmed the security.

The man, pulled aback by the woman, fled the scene instantly but ended up in court.

The court overruled the man’s plea that he never entered the premise, acknowledging the witness’s testimony that she saw part of his body passing across the entrance.

It rejected the man’s assertion that that he wasn’t entering the premise to get on with his libido.

The court went no further than imposing the fine on the ground that he voluntarily fled the scene and that he had no criminal record.
