I think I've mentioned before that Koreans are reluctant to help foreigners, but I shouldn't feel bad as I know many hate me as well. The reason I shouldn't feel bad is because they hate their own kind as well and in the article below they were even reluctant to help a poor little Korean girl.
Read what the University Professor said when busted...

Some of the Korean men who got their rocks off, probably got into returning again and again to have sex with a 14 year old female prisoner. I doubt their punishment will hardly fit the crime. Think what would happen to a foreign male who had sex multiple times with a Korean female minor, who knows, maybe one of you did? There's got to be at least 1 foreigner in the bunch of 800 suspects! If not yet, this could be a tip-off for the police to go find one and put a twist on the story.

I shuddered several times whilst reading that. So sick. I hope they get what they deserve. |

I think the police by and large in Korea know about the illegal sex trade, but don't do anything about it.
A shame. A real shame. |

A foreigner would have to be near 100% fluent in Korean and know all the idioms and slang to get involved in something like this. So, I highly doubt a foreigner, especially a western foreigner, to be involved in this. |

Wasn't there a guy from Europe that held a girl prisoner for like 5+ years who was recently caught? He had a hidden room for her under his house or something.
If this were an isolated incident then I'd be shocked, however, stuff like this happens all over the world. Nice attempt to treat it as a "Koreans hate Koreans" thing.
Its not about Koreans abusing a little Korean girl. Its about a bunch of sick perverts who abused a child. Believe it or not, there are child abusers and child predators OUTSIDE of Korea. |

I think the sad thing is that the article seemed to say that some of the customers might get charged with the crime of "sex with a minor". Not raping a minor, and not solicitation of a prostitute on top of it.
And then, it says that one of the customers, a university professor, didn't realize that she was only 14 and he hopes that they don't tell his university because he doesn't want to lose his job....
I think they should show the photos of every customer who got caught, and let them face the public wrath (if there'll be any). |

pkang0202 is right. It's not symptomatic of Korean society. These kinds of atrocious acts are sickening, yet they happen in all societies. The customers are also from every walks of life. |

Agreed. It is not a matter of saying, "Look at the evil Koreans!" However, when certain Koreans go on about the decadent sex crazed West and how virtuous they are it is extremely hypocritical. One can see that they really aren't any different. There are sickos everywhere. One should keep that in mind the next time a "Japan are a bunch of sex perverts" thread is started. Has it been 6 weeks yet?
Oh and I hope these people rot in jail for life. Nothing worse than a child molestor.
BTW, I know obviously consent was not given in this case and that this is clearly rape but what is the age of consent in South Korea? 13 seems awful low.
The age of consent
What is the age of consent?
It varies by country and for male-female, male-male, and female-female sex. The age of consent in countries where you must be married to engage in sex is synonymous with the marriageable age. According to the Wikipedia, 'the marriageable age for Iran is 15 for males, 13 for females. For Pakistan it is 18 for males, 15 for females. In Yemen, in 1999, the minimum marriage age of fifteen for women, rarely enforced, was abolished; the onset of puberty, interpreted by conservatives to be at the age of nine, was set as a requirement for consummation of marriage'. From Human Rights Watch: World Report 2001 on Yemen.
There appears to be no age limit for sex with girls in Saudi Arabia as long as you are married to the girl (that she is one of your wives). It is 12 in Chile, Colombia and Paraguay and appears to be undefined or irrelevant in Ecuador and Mexico. It is 13 in Guyana, Korea, Nigeria, South Korea, Spain and Syria. It is 14 in Canada and China, the latter with the world�s largest population of over 1.2 billion, and 14 also in many other countries. Most of the balance varies from 14 up to a few countries where it is 18. For a full list see Ages of consent around the world.

Other websites say it is 13 too. Sickening...

And the have the gall to complain about comfort women?
Sounds like Korea was trying to create one.
You'd think after 800 men or so saw this girl that at least one would have the good nature to report it to the police. I find it hard to believe that anywhere in the world, out of 800 people, you would find 800 bad apples.
Cue for Jinju to come and rescue Korea's (snicker) image. |

AsI said before, it's happening everywhere in the world.
800 apples are easy to find... in any place with a population over 1000....
It's not about Korea.
Arkansas and New York USA, , South Gloucestershire England, Ottawa Canada, Carletonville SouthAfrica, Armagh Ireland, Port Fairy Australia, Howick New Zealand. Everywhere you look you'll find that and worse... |

800 out of 800? I find that hard to believe.
Hell will be awful crowded coming up soon.

I guess we should be thankful for the positive step of the police not trying to pin the blame on the girl like that last time a jr. high sex slave / rape story hit.
The castration of these guys doesn't need to be said. It should be done. |
