However, the woman has not been required to pay compensation to the mistress.
The case, which has gone viral on mainland social media, came before Teng County Court in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, southwestern China.
While the mistress did not accept the verdict of the court and lodged an appeal, the upper-level Wuzhou Municipal Intermediate People’s Court upheld the original verdict in early April, the Guangxi Legal Daily reported.
In August 2023, the mistress, surnamed Wang, found a hidden camera in a rented flat in which she and a man, surnamed Hu, lived. Hu was the husband of a woman, surnamed Li, at the time.
Wang discovered their intimate footage had been recorded on camera.
