Woman sued after sending video of naked female members to help them leave church (South Korea)
A woman who escaped from the Christian Gospel Mission (JMS) in South Korea has been sued for "illegal distribution of footage" after sending a video of a sexual exploitation by a senior member of the group to her friend in an attempt to persuade her.
According to JTBC on the 12th, Mr. A, who was born to parents who met and married at JMS, was a devout JMS follower.
However, recently, after watching a documentary about sexual exploitation, Mr. A
His faith was crumbling, and after watching a video of the former through a former member, he decided to leave the group. The video included scenes in which female members were naked and called the leader, Jeong Myung-seok, "Lord."
However, due to this video, Mr. A was recently sued on charges of illegally filming and distributing the footage under the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence. Mr. A had released the footage in an attempt to inform his closest friend at JMS of this fact.
The reason was that he sent the statue to a friend. A was later sued for illegal filming and distribution. Five female followers in the footage sued A, all of whom were JMS leaders.
As a result, Mr. A was investigated by the police on the 6th. Mr. A's lawyer said, "We have decided to indict him as a suspect and send him to the prosecution solely because he engaged in objective behavior.
The police also referred the former member who provided the video to A to the prosecution, but have received a request from the prosecution for a supplementary investigation.
Anti-JMS activist Kim Do-hyeon said, "I wanted my friend to leave the cult as evidence of sexual exploitation.
"Isn't it too much to consider this a crime when it was just a video that was shown to the public?" he said. In response, the Chungnam-do National Police Agency was vague, saying, "The investigation is still ongoing."
JMS responded by saying that the complaint was filed by its followers as a personal complaint.
