[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 7th, the United Future Party announced that it will establish a task force to combat sexual exploitation issues in our society, such as the Nth Room and Jung Joon-young KakaoTalk chatroom cases.


Park Hyung-joon, co-chairman of the United Future Party's joint election countermeasures committee, held a press conference that day and said, "The entire society has been deeply shocked by the unprecedented sex crimes represented by the Nth Room. We can no longer stand by and do nothing."


First, the United Future Party plans to open an 'Anti-Human Sexual Exploitation Crime Call Center' to actively receive reports of victim cases and collect the grievances and incidents of victims. If necessary, they are also considering directly filing lawsuits against sexual exploitation criminals in consultation with the victims.


In addition to the Nth Room case, to eradicate sex crimes such as the 'Jung Joon-young KakaoTalk,' 'hidden camera,' and 'drug sexual assault,' Kim Sang-kyo, the initial whistleblower and victim of the 'Burning Sun' case, has been appointed as a committee member to focus on solving issues related to hidden cameras, drugs, and sexual assault incidents among social elites.


Jo Sung-eun, vice-chairman of the United Future Party Central Election Countermeasures Committee and member of the Nth Room case task force, said, "Kim Eo-jun, a veteran and original mouthpiece of the Democratic Party of Korea, has started talking about 'conspiracy' again in such a tragic and appalling anti-human sexual torture and exploitation crime case," adding, "About a month after the Nth Room case was reported, 'second Nth Rooms' are spreading."


Jo stated, "Protecting society from anti-human crimes that destroy communities is an uncompromisable core conservative value," and announced plans to ▲ open a KakaoTalk channel for reporting anti-human sexual exploitation crimes ▲ provide psychiatric specialist support for victim relief ▲ offer legal aid with the consent of victims. He also mentioned that amendments to criminal law and related special laws will be pursued to permanently isolate these sex offenders from society.



He said, "To prevent young devils from escaping lightly by claiming their youth and becoming more violent monsters destroying community society, the scope of punishment for the four major anti-human crimes (serial murder, torture including sexual exploitation and rape, murder and rape of children, crimes related to organized group assault and murder) will be expanded to include minors involved in school violence," and added, "Regulations will be amended so that crimes committed during live broadcasts using communication networks will be treated as caught-in-the-act offenses."
