Outrage In South Korea: It's Not About The Coronavirus

Once again the large amount of misogyny, sexual assault and abuse  has once more been brought into the light.  Like the scandal involving male K-pop stars who illegally upload video of sexual encounters without the women's knowledge or consent.    This time it involves the abuse of not only women but of junior high school girls whom their abusers treated like sex slaves.

 

Outrage in South Korea over Telegram sexual abuse ring blackmailing women and girls



 Alleged ringleader forced victims to carve ‘slave’ into their bodies and send him degrading images that were shared with scores of others


A sexual blackmail ring that operated on the app Telegram and targeted dozens of women, including underage girls, has rocked South Korea and triggered demands for authorities to crack down on the rising number of sexual offences online.
Police on Wednesday took the unusual step of naming the man who allegedly ran an online network that lured at least 58 women and 16 girls into what authorities called “virtual enslavement” by blackmailing them into sending degrading and, in come cases, violent sexual images of themselves.
Cho Ju-bin faces charges of violating the child protection act, the privacy act and the sexual abuse act, as well as abuse, threats, and coercion, after he was identified as the blackmail ring’s leader.
