Gwangju Police Declare War on Digital Sex Crimes

Establishment and Operation of Special Investigation Unit... Building a Close Cooperation System with Related Agencies

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency (Chief Choi Gwan-ho) has declared war on digital sex crimes.

On the 26th, the Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency announced that it will establish and operate a "Special Investigation Unit for Digital Sex Crimes" to respond more systematically and comprehensively to digital sex crimes.

The unit is led by the deputy chief of the Gwangju Police Agency and consists of a total of 46 members.

The special investigation unit is composed of departments for investigation execution, investigation guidance and support, international cooperation, digital forensics, and victim protection, and will also establish a close cooperation system with related organizations and groups.

In addition, the "Special Crackdown on the Four Major Distribution Networks of Cyber Sexual Violence," originally scheduled until the end of June, will be extended until the end of the year, and all police investigative capabilities will be concentrated for intensive crackdowns.

The plan is to completely transform the socially indifferent perception of digital sex crimes and to strongly investigate so that digital sex crimes can no longer take root in our society.

In particular, the criminal proceeds found through crackdowns will be confiscated using the pre-prosecution seizure preservation system, notified to the National Tax Service, and efforts will focus on fundamentally blocking criminal attempts.

The policy is to punish criminals and do their best to protect victims.

By understanding the pain and desperate feelings experienced by women, thorough victim protection will be ensured, focusing on eliminating blind spots in women's safety.

Furthermore, to prevent secondary damage during the investigation process, close cooperation with related agencies will be maintained and careful attention will be given. To this end, awareness will be raised through gender sensitivity education and other measures.

A representative of the Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency said, "Digital sex crimes, which not only destroy a person's soul but also threaten the social community, will be completely eradicated," adding, "We will employ all possible means to track down and arrest producers, distributors, accomplices, and those who aid and abet until the end."
