Yup, now the U.S. needs to increase requirements for any Koreans seeking entry to the country, especially those with sons or planning to have sons.

That link is from 3 years ago. Do you have a more recent link? I seem to recall hearing about this guy this year.

When I clicked the link, the story I read was dated February 8th, 2005. Why are we reading a 3 year old story?

This has nothing to do with your post, I just want to say that your avatar had me on the floor laughing. It was slowly loading in the corner of my eye then I noticed it. Pretty ****ing funny.

What ARE you talking about?

Cover Story
The Panty Thief

The prosecutor thinks Sung Koo Kim could have abducted Brooke Wilberger. But he can't prove it.

Sung Koo Kim, 30, appears in Washington County Circuit Court at a bail-reduction hearing. After Kim�s picture�in jailhouse orange�was splashed across the media, his family brought a suit jacket and tie for him to wear for last Friday�s bail hearing in Multnomah County.

Oops, I'm looking at the date right above the title, and immediately below the horizontal bar menu.

Quote:
In Kim's bedroom closet and dresser, inside more than two dozen suitcases, backpacks, cardboard boxes and plastic bags, were some 3,400 pairs of women's panties�many of them soiled�and bras.

Kim didn't just collect underwear: The officers also found used toilet paper, tampon applicators, bloody panty liners, dryer lint and human hair.

On the labels of many of the pieces of underwear were handwritten dates, women's names, and references or apparent references to more than a half-dozen Willamette Valley colleges and universities.

According to Baltzell, the searchers also found two automatic handguns and at least three semi-automatic rifles in Kim's room. The officers didn't seize the weapons because they hadn't been listed on the search warrant. But they did arrest Kim for theft and burglary charges.

And, when Kim told Baltzell he'd purchased the underwear via the Internet, Baltzell seized his computer.

The investigators found disturbing evidence:

* Over 40,000 images of women being tortured, raped, eviscerated and mutilated. Links to websites like asphyxiation2, strangling_whores, necrofeat, realcorpsephotos, femalestrangulation, facesofdeathfanclub and corpseoftheweek.
* A surreptitiously made video of two women volleyball players from Portland's Concordia University doing their laundry, and information�obtained from the university's website�about when the women were born, their parents' names and where they'd gone to high school.
* A computer document, entitled "OSU," that Benton County Deputy DA Haroldson later called "a list of horrific torture steps that lead to murder, followed by a list of supplies to bring along." The document, according to Haroldson, was prepared in March 2004, two months before Wilberger disappeared.
* Computerized searches relating to a female OSU swim-team member who hung out at the Oak Park Apartments, where Wilberger was last seen, and who, said Haroldson, bore a striking physical resemblance to Wilberger.
* Underwear labeled as coming from the "OSU swim apts," with the name of the woman who resembled Wilberger and the date 4/15.
* Eleven pairs of panties that had been stolen from another swim-team member and Oak Park resident sometime between April and May 13.

To Benton County DA Scott Heiser, Kim's collection of images was "among the most graphic and violent I have seen in my 15 years as a prosecutor, in many cases worse than actual homicide-scene photos because of the degree of torture to the victim that is depicted.

"I cannot recall another case," Heiser said in a court pleading, "where a sexual fetish burglar has ever amassed such a collection of violent images, or has had such a fixation on sexually torturing women."

On May 18, five days after Kim had been arrested and lodged in the Yamhill County Jail, his mother, who had returned from Korea following her son's arrest, posted bail, and he went home.

Six days later, Brooke Wilberger disappeared.

I think the police did a good job in this case. The guy was a serial killer waiting to happen and they took him off the streets before he could do anything.

The police argument makes it sound like anyone who saves porn on their computer is a serial-killer waiting to happen.

Fair?

There's a big difference between fantasy and acting on it... seems like he's been fitted up while waiting for evidence that never came...

Especially since they ended up arresting, and charging someone else for it
