In a landmark ruling, a 33-year-old South Korean man, Kim Nok-wan, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for orchestrating a sprawling online blackmail ring that sexually exploited 261 victims, including 16 minors he raped or assaulted. The Seoul Central District Court emphasized the gravity of his crimes, stating that Kim’s actions necessitate his “permanent isolation from society.” Additionally, 10 accomplices received prison terms ranging from two to four years in what authorities have dubbed the largest cybersex crime case in the country’s history.
