The Jeju Dongbu Police Station announced that it has detained and sent a man in his 20s, identified as A, to the prosecution on charges including forcible indecency and the production and blackmail of sexually explicit material.

A is accused of approaching multiple minors he met through social media and producing sexually explicit material.

He is also accused of lying that he was a middle school student, visiting a victim's home to forcibly grope them, and blackmailing the victims using the sexually explicit material.

Investigations revealed that A approached the victims by handing them mobile gift certificates and offering money in exchange for securing sexually explicit photos and videos.
