SEOUL - The South Korean man behind a Telegram sex crime ring was paraded in public on Wednesday (March 25), in a rare move by the police to expose his identity after news of his alleged acts triggered public outrage.

Cho Ju-bin, 24, was arrested last week for sexually abusing 74 women, including 16 who are underage, in order to run a series of sex chat rooms on the instant messaging app. It earned him hundreds of millions of won in cryptocurrency from a subscriber list of up to 260,000 people.
