The dangers of the internet, and the seedy criminal element of the online world, are once again making news in South Korea, following what is being called the “second Nth Room case”.

The scandal involves a criminal mastermind given the alias “L”, who police are tracking down – along with possible accomplices and viewers of illegal content – for coercing minors to perform sexually degrading acts on camera and profiting from their distribution and sale to users through the private messaging app Telegram.
