Do you know where perpetrators of sexual crimes against minors most often seek their victims?
It's right online.
They contact them through chat apps and social media to commit their crimes, and reporter Kang Se-hyun has investigated the situation.

"This is a charge of producing and distributing child sexual exploitation material."

This is the scene of Kim Nok-wan, the head of the crime organization involved in the production of sexual exploitation material, being arrested.

The vigilante group targets minors as well.

In reality, the number of children and adolescents visiting victim support centers is increasing, and there have been cases of crimes committed against adolescents with intellectual disabilities.

▶ Interview: Jin Yu-rim / Youth Support Center Counselor
"They ended up meeting adult men through online chatting, and the adult men were fully aware of the victim's vulnerabilities...."

According to the analysis of sexual crime verdicts against minors by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the average age of victims was 14, with 24% being under 13.

Sexual violence was the most common, followed by digital sexual crimes.

▶ Standing: Kang Se-hyun / Reporter

"Often, after forming a trust relationship with the perpetrator, the adolescent is psychologically dominated, leading to sexual exploitation...."

There are calls for stricter punishments and enhanced education.

▶ Interview: Park Joo-hyun / Youth Support Center Team Leader
"Since they are digital natives, this seems to be an unavoidable situation online. Rather than blaming or blocking, how can we establish healthy relationships and communicate with safe people...."
