Police Urgently Arrest Operator on 22nd
Produced 279 Deepfake Porn Videos
30s Suspect Who Distributed Over 20,000 Porn Videos Also Sent to Prosecution

As 'deepfake sex crimes' involving the synthesis and distribution of obscene materials on women's faces reached a serious level, the police urgently arrested the operator of the Telegram 'Jiin Neungyok Bang' and handed him over to the prosecution.

On the 30th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Deepfake and False Video Concentrated Response Task Force announced that a man in his 20s, identified as A, was sent to the prosecution under detention on charges of violating the Youth Protection Act (production and distribution of sexual exploitation materials).

A is accused of operating the 'Jiin Neungyok Bang' on Telegram from May to July, collecting personal information of 246 individuals from chatroom participants, and producing 279 deepfake obscene videos. Accordingly, the police urgently arrested A on the 22nd and detained him.

Additionally, the police also sent a man in his 30s, identified as B, who created and operated websites distributing false videos, to the prosecution under detention.

B is accused of operating two adult sites from 2020 until the 22nd, distributing 20,638 obscene materials to secure banner advertisement fees for gambling sites.

Police investigations confirmed that the obscene materials distributed by B included six child and youth sexual exploitation materials, nine illegal recordings, and five deepfake obscene videos.

To evade tracking by investigative agencies and blocking measures by the Korea Communications Standards Commission, B purchased a total of 85 domains and frequently changed the site addresses. He also operated five address guide sites to ensure that existing visitors could access the sites even after domain changes.

A police official stated, "Regardless of the medium, whether Telegram or websites, we will actively cooperate with all possible institutions and do our best to eradicate cyber sexual violence crimes."
