Found a Secure Folder on Husband's Phone and Opened It
"Hidden Filming Is a Crime" Netizens Offer Various Advice
A story was shared asking for advice on how to deal with discovering obscene videos and nude photos of women on her husband's cellphone. On the 19th, a post titled "My Husband's Pandora's Box" was uploaded to an online community. Ms. A, a woman in her mid-30s raising a daughter, began by saying, "My husband said he would transfer photos from my phone to an external hard drive, so I briefly had his cellphone."
At that time, Ms. A admitted that she secretly looked through her husband's phone. Inside, she found a secure folder, and upon opening it, she discovered all kinds of obscene videos, nude photos of women, and photos of ordinary women's legs. In this shocking situation, Ms. A explained, "The nude photos of women don't seem to be of ordinary people. They look like AI-generated images," and added, "The photos of ordinary women's legs were taken by my husband while waiting at a hair salon, photographing the hairdresser's legs." She continued, "I understand the obscene videos and GIFs of celebrities, but photos taken of ordinary people are shocking," and questioned netizens, "Do men usually do this? This is clearly a crime, and I don't know what to do."
Ms. A also expressed anger, saying, "My husband has a daughter too, and the hairdresser in those photos is someone's daughter as well. Although the faces weren't visible, thinking about me or my daughter being treated like that is truly disgusting. He seems like such trash, and I don't even want to talk to him." She lamented, "I wonder if I'm the strange one or if most men do this. I think my husband is abnormal." In response to her story, netizens commented, "That's a crime. Take measures before it escalates," "Your husband seems to have strange tastes. How can he do that when he has a daughter?" and "First, ask your husband what exactly happened."
