[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] Nam Kyung-eup (29), who conspired with Jo Joo-bin (24, detained and indicted), the main culprit of the 'Doctor's Room' case involving the production and distribution of sexual exploitation materials of minors, has been indicted.


The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office Digital Sex Crime Special Investigation Task Force (Chief Investigator Yoo Hyun-jung, Head of the Women and Children Crime Investigation Division) indicted Nam on the 3rd on charges including quasi-rape, forcible molestation, violation of the Sexual Violence Crime Punishment Act, and coercion.


The prosecution also requested the court to impose an electronic monitoring order on Nam.


Nam is accused of luring five victims through social networking services (SNS) from February to March and handing them over to Jo. It was investigated that Jo threatened the victims lured by Nam to produce sexual exploitation materials and forced them to make voice recordings.


Additionally, Nam is believed to have forced another accomplice to molest one victim and distributed the filmed sexual exploitation materials on the Doctor's Room. He also allegedly imitated Jo's methods to threaten other victims and possessed 102 child and adolescent pornography materials.


The police arrested Nam on the 6th of last month and transferred him to the prosecution on the 15th.



Considering that the activity periods of the Doctor's Room members currently on trial differ from Nam's crime period, the prosecution did not include charges of joining or participating in a criminal organization in Nam's indictment.
