Lee Jae Han (33), the eldest son of Chong Kun Dang Chairman Lee Jong Dang (67) has been arrested for sharing molka on social media.
According to reports, Lee filmed himself having sex with three other women and shared the videos on Twitter. The women reportedly agreed to have sex with him but never agreed to film or distribute the video. An unidentified person who saw Lee's Twitter account reported the matter to police.
The Hyehwa Police Station in Seoul applied for the arrest warrant on the 31st but the Seoul Central District Court judge dismissed the arrest warrant on the 2nd. Deputy Chief Justice Choi Janghoon stated, "the faces of the women weren't exposed on the Twitter posts shared by Lee and he also agreed to voluntarily shut down the account. If we sum up the contents of the evidence collected so far, the victims' lack of punishment, their regular residence and job, and their attitude in statements given during interrogation process, its difficult to recognize the reason for the arrest."
After the news of the arrest warrant dismissal, netizens criticized the court's lack of sensitivity especially in light of the ongoing controversy involving Cho Joo Bin's Nth Room. Police plan to forward Lee to prosecution with recommendation of indictment pending further investigations.
In the meantime, Lee was investigated previously for habitual physical and verbal abuse of his father's chauffeur and sentenced to suspended 6-month prison sentence for two years probation.
- [+6,077, -69] They're all the same. The video was clearly uploaded without victim's consent. It doesn't matter whether her face was seen or not. Anyone seeing this would agree that this judge got bribed in the back. All these judges are no different that sex offenders.
- [+1,658, -15] This is how scary the world is. Our country's laws only work for those with money and power. The reality is someone who steals a piece of bread because of hunger is more likely to end up in prison for years than these thugs..
- [+797, -15] Typical~ once again the guilty being judged innocent~
- [+571, -3] Is he saying that you can secretly film anyone as long as you don't show their face? Is he being serious right now??!
- [+201, -0] Regardless of anything, her body was exposed. Isn't that the victim's too? So just because he covered her face he can do whatever he wants??! Is this judge a psychopath???
- [+126, -2] This is how the rich get away with it all. This is why our country is in ruins. Expose the judge and lawyer that made that ruling so that we can bury them in public. We all have daughters, nieces, sisters in our houses. We need to strengthen our laws on sex crimes and punish anyone that defends this thugs. Is he trying the cover the sky with his bare hands?
- [+90, -2] Let's see if he'll make the same ruling when its his own daughter or sister..
