“Nth Room” Case – Sexual slavery conducted over the internet

The room N incident refers to a large-scale online transmission and sales of sexual crime video incidents in Telegram that happened in Korea. The victims included a large number of pre-adults, with at least 10,000 perpetrators. They forced these young females to film very extreme and cruel porn content using their own devices. If they ever stop or refuse to do so, the perpetrators threatened them by screenshot their friend lists on SNS and saying that they will send all the photos to their parents. In this case, all the chat room are set online with strong security, people who are interested in the content have to pay at least $150 (via cryptocurrency) to become a member, because of the Telegram’s strict security system, it is more difficult to investigate.

I hardly imagine such crim happened in the real world, according to the research, the youngest victim among these females is 10. And the member count by the day this case is exposed is 260-thousand, which means one among one hundred Korean men paid to enjoy such cruel sexual slavery. On the other side, it makes me think of the dark side of the internet.

In nowadays, we enjoy the internet and depend on it very much, social media like telegram in Korea helps us to exchange information quickly and connect with each other. However, the privacy of these chat rooms. It is the anonymity mechanism of the network and the confidentiality of user privacy by social software that has contributed to the wide spread of such sex crimes on the Internet. For these 260,000 members, there is almost no evidence of cybercrime, so the probability of being caught by police is very low. I think it is very necessary to take measures to prevent such criminals from happening again.
