According to the Yonhap News Agency, on the 22nd, South Korean prosecutors asked the court to sentence “Room N” Dr. Cho (real name Cho Jung-bin) to life imprisonment. He is suspected of setting up chat rooms on encryption software and sharing illegal filming of various perverted indecent videos for a fee, earning billions of won in revenue, and is charged with 12 crimes. He pleaded guilty on the spot when he was publicly paraded in March this year.
The company has been accused of setting up chat rooms on encryption software, calling itself “Dr.” and sharing various perverted and indecent videos for a fee, earning billions of won from December 2018 to March this year. On March 19, Dr. Cho was arrested on suspicion of violating the Child and Youth Sex Protection Act and other charges.
Beginning in 2018, a number of offenders, led by Dr. Cho, attracted young women by luring them with part-time jobs as clothing models, coaxing them to upload nude photos or indecent videos. This was then used as a threat to make sexually exploitative videos, which were shared in chat rooms on the instant messaging app Telegram for paid members to view or download.
In order to avoid detection, the perpetrators set up multiple chat groups in advance, creating and disbanding new ones called “Room 1,” “Room 2,” etc., which are collectively known as “Room N. The first is the “I’m not going to do it. The chat group operated by Zhao was the most rampant, known as the “Doctor’s Room”.
In handing over Cho Jong-bin to the prosecution, South Korean police filed a total of 12 charges, including violations of the Child and Youth Sexual Protection Act, the report said. The investigation has 38 volumes of records, with 12,000 pages.
According to an earlier report by a foreign network, on October 12, the South Korean prosecutor asked the court to sentence the founder of “Room N,” Wen Hyung Wook, to life in prison and allow him to wear an electronic ankle bracelet and impose employment restrictions. Moon Hyung Wook is only 24 years old and is a university student. In May, he was publicly identified as one of the 50 victims and apologized, and in June, he was indicted on 12 counts of special assault, violating the Child and Youth Sexual Protection Act and coercing the parents of three victims.
