[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jeong] The police have applied for an arrest warrant for a man in his 20s who possessed and distributed child sexual exploitation materials produced by 'Doctor' Jo Joo-bin (24) and 'GodGod' Moon Hyung-wook (24). This is the first time the police have applied for an arrest warrant for a person who redistributed sexual exploitation videos.


The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Special Investigation Unit for Digital Sex Crimes announced on the 26th that they have applied for an arrest warrant for A (26), who is suspected of purchasing a large amount of child sexual exploitation materials through Twitter and reselling them on the dark web (violation of the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles Against Sexual Abuse).


The police have identified that A purchased about 3,000 child sexual exploitation materials between March and April this year, resold them, and received virtual currency (Monero) worth about 1.1 million KRW. The police are also tracking those who purchased child sexual exploitation materials from A.



Additionally, the police are conducting investigations by identifying and summoning dozens of individuals who redistributed or posted sales advertisements for child sexual exploitation materials related to 'Doctor's Room' on the dark web or Twitter.
