Photoshopped and posted revealing photos of an unfamiliar woman on social media
Court: “Distribution of sexually shameful manipulated content is not allowed”

The first-instance court has transferred the case of a high school student who photoshopped and shared revealing photos of a young woman in her twenties, along with derogatory hashtags and explicit text on social media, for fun.

Yonhap News

According to the legal community, on the 7th, Judge Kim Do Hyung, the presiding judge of the 1st Criminal Division of Wonju Branch, Chuncheon District Court, transferred the case of A (18), who was charged with violating the Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (false video editing, distribution, etc.).

A received a photo of B, taken on July 11th last year at 10:20 p.m. at her home in Wonju while wearing a dress, from someone else. A then combined this photo with an exposed image showing the chest and stomach and posted it on social media, along with personal information such as name, age, and school, leading to charges. At that time, A included hashtags related to cyberbullying and explicit content that could cause sexual shame, which was recorded in the indictment.

According to the Juvenile Act, when a case is transferred to the juvenile court, various protective measures ranging from probationary supervision, community service orders, and probation to placement in a juvenile facility can be imposed, and there will be no criminal record.

Judge Kim emphasized, “Editing, synthesizing, or manipulating images or recordings of anyone’s face, body, or voice in a way that can induce sexual shame and then distributing them against their will is prohibited.” He added, “However, I have considered that the defendant is a student, a first-time offender and that the offense was limited to one case. The defendant also deposited a certain amount for the victim’s compensation.”
