[Digital Sex Crime Types]

- Illegal shooting: Illegal photographing or videotaping of body parts or certain acts. If someone took a photo or video that could sexually harass someone, the shooting itself considers a crime, regardless of the consent of the person.

- Dissemination/redistribution: Uploading illegal materials on group chats, social media, porn sites, online communities or retaliatory dissemination for the purpose of harming romantic partners after a breakup, etc.

- Threatening to disseminate images: Threatening to disseminate sexual images to family and acquaintances, or demanding money while threatening to disseminate such materials.

- Distribution/consumption: Platform providers, such as webhards and porn sites and their users.

<We all need to increase our awareness!>

First, do not click illegally shot materials.

You can become a digital sex crime offender just by viewing illegal recordings out of curiosity. Never click on illegal recordings so that criminals cannot earn financial gain from them!

Second, revenge porn is not a commercially distributed material.

Revenge porn is a term often used to refer to distributing sexual pictures or videos of an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend in retaliation. Pornography means commercial porn, and illegal recordings cannot be called pornography. Keep in mind that you should never record someone illegally or take part in the distribution of such materials!

<i>“I think someone is recording illegally in a public bathroom!”</i>

① Report illegal shooting to 112 or the local police station immediately after you recognized.

③ Remember the clues that can be used to identify the offender, such as the cell phone model of the offender and the appearance.

④ Request for deleting distributed images through the site operator or organizations and groups that can assist in deleting them.

* Respond to threats to disseminate images as follows!
