South Korean court rules banging on ceiling, calling to complain considered stalking

A 55-year-old woman in South Korea was fined 2 million won (approximately $1,400) by a Chuncheon District Court for stalking her upstairs neighbor. The court ruled that her repeated actions, banging on the ceiling with a backscratcher and using the intercom system to contact her neighbor, constituted stalking under the country's anti-stalking laws. She was also mandated to complete a 40-hour treatment program for stalking offenders. The incidents occurred between March 17 and May 11 last year at a residential complex in Chuncheon, Gangwon province.
