[Asia Economy Reporter Yang Nak-gyu]Private A of the Army, known as an accomplice of Jo Joo-bin (24, in custody), the operator of the Telegram 'Doctor's Room' who produced and distributed sexual exploitation materials, has been handed over to the military prosecution.

According to the Army on the 14th, the military police transferred Private A, who is suspected of violating the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles from Sexual Abuse, to the military prosecution with a prosecution opinion.

Private A is accused of distributing sexual exploitation materials targeting women hundreds of times in the 'Doctor's Room' operated by Jo Joo-bin and promoting the Doctor's Room externally. Private A is reported to be 'Igiya,' one of the three co-operators of the Doctor's Room revealed by Jo Joo-bin's lawyer.

There have been claims that a user with the chat name 'Igiya' was active in the Telegram chat room until recently, suggesting that Private A likely continued the crimes even during military service.

Earlier, the Army Capital Defense Command Ordinary Military Court issued an arrest warrant for Private A due to concerns over evidence destruction and flight risk. The military prosecution plans to continue the investigation into Private A in cooperation with civilian investigative agencies.
