“자발적으로 영상 통화를 했기에 의사에 반했다고 볼 수 없고, 타인의 신체를 직접 촬영한 게 아니라 휴대폰 화면에 나타난 영상이라 성폭력처벌법상 '촬영'에 해당하지도 않는다.”

One of the biggest issues is the light sentences awarded to the guilty in Digital Sex Crimes.
"In 2020, 79% of those convicted received a suspended sentence, a fine, or a combination of the two. 52% received only a suspended sentence."
“In the past two weeks, South Koreans have been shocked to find that a rising number of young men and teenage boys had taken hundreds of social media images of classmates, teachers and military colleagues — almost all young women and girls, including minors — and used them to create sexually exploitative images and video clips with deepfake apps.
They have spread the material through chat rooms on the encrypted messaging service Telegram, some with as many as 220,000 members.
The deepfakes usually combine a victim’s face with a body in a sexually explicit pose, taken from pornography.
The technology is so sophisticated that it is often hard for ordinary people to tell they are fake, investigators say.
For one 30-year-old deepfake victim, whose name is being withheld to protect her privacy, the attack began in 2021 with an anonymous message on Telegram that said: ‘Hi!’
Over the next few hours, a stream of obscenities and deepfake images and video clips followed, featuring her face, taken from family trip photos she had posted on social media.
Written on the body were words like ‘slave,’ ‘toilet’ and ‘rag.’”
