On the 26th of March, a 16-year-old boy under the alias name of 'Pacific Ocean" was arrested, as he sought the police himself, revealing that he is one of the accomplices of the controversial "Nth Room" sex abuse case.
According to the reports of the Seoul Metropolitan Police, the young man is said to be one of the main operators of the Telegram "Nth Chatroom," a platform sharing videos and illicit contents involving adolescent female sexual abuse and exploitation.
Based on the testimony of 'Pacific Ocean', the underage age suspect was running a separate chatroom called, "Pacific Ocean Expedition", which his role is to distribute illegal, inappropriate videos and juvenile materials.
The minor suspect was arrested on the 20th, and according to the investigations, he started operating since 2019 and ran the room with 8,000 to 10,000 registered users.
On January, Jo Joo Bin's crime has been revealed, and 'Pacific Ocean', turned himself over the police and investigations started on the same month. However, he didn't stop his illicit work, as he told the paid users and clients to use Wire Application instead, (for Telegram has been under investigations), to be able to receive their orders containing sexual videos. The video will be accessible once the client received an invite-only chat room entry passes.
The 16-year-old boy is currently under the custody of the police, along with Jo Joo Bin, the perpetrator of the chatrooms as well as with the other accomplices.
Meanwhile, this shocking news of having a minor chat operator is still bearable, but when the news sparks regarding the 9-year-old girl who was made into a sex "slave", netizens can't help themselves but demand a death penalty over the suspects.
