Minsaeng Party "Punish All Access to Illegal Sexual Exploitation Materials"... Announces Pledge to Eradicate 'n번방'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 5th, the Minsaengdang Party announced that it will push for measures to punish all cases of accessing illegal sexual exploitation materials, including streaming services, to prevent the recurrence of the 'Telegram Nth Room incident.'

Through a press release on the same day, the Minsaengdang Party stated, "We recognize the limitations of current legal provisions in adequately responding to online sex crimes and propose pledges for fundamental solutions," pledging to include such content in legal amendments.

The Minsaengdang Party said, "We will establish punishment provisions for cases where individuals join specific online groups for the purpose of viewing illegal sexual exploitation materials such as child and adolescent sexual exploitation materials, or maintain membership knowing that illegal materials are being distributed after joining."

The Minsaengdang Party added, "To clearly establish grounds for punishing streaming, we will create punishment provisions for accessing illegal materials such as child and adolescent sexual exploitation materials for viewing purposes," and "to avoid lenient court sentences, we will introduce legal grounds allowing the National Assembly to request the court to establish or revise sentencing guidelines."

Kim Won-jong, head of policy at the Minsaengdang Party, said, "Given the public's great anger and sense of loss over the Nth Room incident, the National Assembly should convene immediately after the general election to discuss related institutional improvements."
