South Korea investigates mass sex abuse at school

SEOUL: South Korean police on Friday arrested three teenage males on suspicion of sexually molesting primary school students in a series of assault cases that a civic group and local media said had more than 50 victims.

Older students forced boy and girl students at the primary school in the south-eastern city of Daegu to mimic sexual acts they had seen on pornographic websites and TV, according to the civic group made up of parents from the area, teachers and human rights advocates.

News of the case has saturated South Korean media in the past few days and led to questions about the responsibility of parents and educators.

A police official in Daegu said the three middle school boys were arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing eight elementary or primary school girls. The official would not comment on the scope of the investigation.

The three are part of a group of 11 students who sexually abused the children on the campus of the elementary school where students are mainly from seven to 12 years old. The students would beat the younger students if they did not participate, Yonhap news agency reported parents and police as saying.

The school was first told of the sexual violence months ago, local media citing police sources said, and has been criticised for not acting swiftly.

The name of the school has not been released in order to protect the children.

U.S. Still Rates S.Korea as Sex Tourism Destination

The U.S. Congressional Research Service still rates South Korea as a major Asian destination for organized sex tours in a recent report entitled "Trafficking in Persons: U.S. Policy and Issues for Congress.”

In the report issued last week, the CRS lists South Korea as a primary Asian destination for organized sex tours, alongside the Philippines, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Hong Kong. By citing Indonesia and Taiwan as secondary destinations for organized sex tours, the report suggests prostitution in South Korea is more serious than in these two countries.

If men don't buy sex nobody would be a prostitute. Men should be loyal to their wives and vice versa.

I guess things in Korea, Japan, etc., are no different than what's happening in Las Vegas, NV, Los Angeles, CA, etc.

Sydney police free sex captives

Police freed 10 South Korean women from the brothel
Australian police say they have broken up an international sex-trafficking ring after rescuing 10 South Korean women from Sydney brothels.
Five people have been arrested and charged with offences including people trafficking and debt bondage.

Police said the women were lured to Australia and forced to work up to 20 hours a day in legal Sydney brothels.

They had agreed to work in the sex industry, but were deceived about conditions, police said.

"My understanding is that they came to Australia to work in the sex industry, but under more reasonable conditions," Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Tim Morris said.

'Vanloads of men'

Once the women were in Australia, the syndicate took their passports, officials said.

"This is probably the largest alleged syndicate that we have smashed," Immigration Department Assistant Secretary Lyn O'Connell said.

The five people arrested include a South Korean woman and a Korean-Australian woman, who police allege is the head of a syndicate that was making $2.8m (£1.4m) annually.

Government prosecutors said the evidence against the five includes six months of intercepted phone calls and Korean-language business documents, Reuters news agency reported.

Prostitution is legal in most of Australia but new slavery laws were introduced in 1999 to prevent vulnerable women being exploited.

A business owner near one of the brothels said it was staffed by Chinese, Japanese and Korean women and was always busy, says the BBC's Phil Mercer in Sydney.

At the weekends, vanloads of Asian men would descend on the premises, he says.

Each month, the parlor operators meet to discuss the business operation and transfer much of the profits to a single spa. That money eventually works through all of the spas before being transferred to California. The money is typically sent by wire or express shipping if under $10,000 or by an employee, known as a taxi driver, for larger sums.

Once in California, the money is transferred back to the ring leaders in South Korea.

The documents released Friday provided further indications the operations are highly organized, including:

The women, smuggled into the country and forced to become sex slaves, have been ordered to cut up used condoms after each client and flush them in toilets. They were also told to swallow condoms if they were arrested by police.

Undercover agents found that clients are led through an intricate welcoming process that allows the spa managers to search their personal belongings to verify they aren't lawmen.

Once in a room, prostitutes only make offers of sex by pantomiming, never saying the words aloud for fear of being caught on tape.

Most of the spas have innocuous names like Sun Gold Spa, VIP Salon and Sun Health Spa.

When contacted last week by the News, an employee of the Spring Spa in Longmont declined to talk about the case.

The front door of Spring Spa opens to the sound of a digitized cat call. Inside is a small waiting room furnished with a cheap love seat, couch and a coffee table layered in months-old magazines.

A half-wall blocks any sight of what is beyond the room. In the center of a door in that wall is a large sign that reads "Ring bell" and a door bell.

The woman who answered the ring stood in the partially opened door as she talked to a reporter.

She declined to give her name, but said all of the women working at the spa when law enforcement raided it in August have been replaced.

"We have all new woman," she said. "I don't know what's going on."

Three women were taken into custody during the August raid, according to police reports. The raid was one of about two dozen conducted across the state that day.

In Longmont, police discovered filthy massage rooms littered with drug paraphernalia, stained sheets and costumes and bags of condoms.

This guy Anon is so fixated on hookers, I am wondering what his interest is. He's obviously making some sort of a point here, but it's pure, unaltgerated garbage. Prostitution was invented long, long time ago.

Hello Jeansgirl,
You are right. Anon sounds to me like a guy who is desperate to get a Geisha but can't afford it. Frankly speaking I just laugh about the garbage he puts on this side and do not bother to read it in future. Maybe it is his way to get an orgasmn

Thanks Robin. What ever Anon's own background may be, I bet my life savings that what he sees in Koreans, it's also happening where ever he may be from. Prostitution is live and well right here in Los Angeles for example, and it's even legal right next door in Nevada. As a matter of fact, we have the best of them right here in southern California. That's enough sermons for today.
