[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Jo] The Korean Women Lawyers Association announced on the 25th that it will provide legal support to women and children·adolescents who were victims of the 'Telegram n-bunbang case.'
As of the previous day, a total of 111 women lawyers are involved in providing legal support to the victims. This includes Yoon Seok-hee, president of the Korean Women Lawyers Association, and Yang So-young, public relations director of the Korean Bar Association.
They plan to prevent further harm by providing legal support to the 74 confirmed n-bunbang victims so far (including 16 children and adolescents).
In addition to legal support, the Women Lawyers Association stated that it plans to point out problems in the current legislation related to digital sex crimes and propose improvement measures.
According to the Women Lawyers Association, among the 175 proposed amendments to the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes during the 20th National Assembly session, there were no proposals for punishment or victim protection laws related to n-bunbang.
Although a regulation to punish those who downloaded and possessed illegal adult filming materials on computers, etc., was proposed on the 23rd, the Women Lawyers Association claims this is evidence that the response of the National Assembly and government to increasingly diverse new types of digital sex crimes falls short of public expectations.
The Women Lawyers Association stated, "We urge the prompt passage of the proposed bills and the enactment of a Special Act on the Punishment of Digital Sex Crimes and Support for Victims (Digital Sex Crime Punishment Act) even now."
