Two Women Under One Roof: 4-Year-Old Biological Daughter Dies from Abuse and Sexual Exploitation

The biological mother who abused her young daughter to death was also forced into prostitution by another woman in her 20s with whom she lived, revealing a shocking reality.

The 4-year-old girl, who suffered from abuse and malnutrition at the hands of her mother, A, lost her eyesight and weighed less than 7 kg, with only skin and bones, before passing away in December last year. The police have arrested and indicted A.

At the home of B, the woman with whom A cohabited, a vile life of child abuse, forced prostitution, and complicity in abuse was uncovered.

On the 20th, the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency announced that on December 14 last year, they arrested and sent B (female, in her 20s), who lived with the deceased 4-year-old girl’s biological mother in Geumjeong-gu, on charges including child abuse resulting in death, habitual child abuse, and forced prostitution.

A is currently on trial after being arrested and indicted for abusing and assaulting her young daughter to death. B is also accused of complicity in the child abuse that led to the girl’s death.

According to the police, B forced A into prostitution and managed the large sums of money earned from it, which she allegedly embezzled.

A, who had lived in Gyeongbuk, moved into B’s home in Busan with her daughter in September 2020 due to family conflicts. The two women, of similar age, met through online cafes and other platforms.

B reportedly demanded rent and living expenses from A while forcing her into prostitution. Through SNS and mobile apps, A earned over 100 million won in just over two years, making several million won monthly.

A sometimes engaged in prostitution multiple times a day, including four times on December 14 last year, the day her daughter died. Most of the money earned was managed by B under the pretext of living expenses.

B exploited A’s economic hardship for financial gain.

The forced prostitution, exploitation, and child abuse between them ceased only after the young girl’s death.

The police are continuing investigations into the child abuse charges as well as identifying and investigating the clients involved. The Busan Metropolitan Police Agency stated, “This case is not yet fully closed, and we cannot disclose investigation details.”
