South Korea Targets Philippines-Based Alleged Porn Distributor

MANILA, Philippines — An alleged South Korean porn distributor has been arrested in the Philippines by immigration authorities after Seoul officials requested his deportation and accused him of “distribution of over 7,400 obscene videos via internet file sharing websites.”

South Korea officially considers pornography illegal and “obscene.”

According to reports from the Philippines, the 38-year-old Jung Yonggu was stripped of his passport by South Korean authorities, who then asked the Philippine government to issue a Warrant of Deportation in October.

Operatives of the Philippines’ Bureau of Immigration then arrested Jung on Nov. 1 in the historic, Spanish-built port town Cebu City, several islands south of Manila. Jung was charged with “being an undocumented alien and a risk to public safety and security.”

“The office received information of his crimes from South Korean authorities,” an immigration officer said. “Upon receipt of the information, we immediately filed a charge against him and conducted an investigation to locate and arrest him.”

Philippine authorities told the press, “Jung has an outstanding warrant of arrest issued by the Seoul Central District Court in November 2018 for promoting and circulating pornography, and other related crimes under the Criminal Code of the Republic of Korea. He fled to the Philippines in July 2018 to evade his conviction and arrest.”

Jung is accused by South Korean authorities of “being responsible for working with a Korean convict in the distribution of over 7,400 obscene videos via internet file sharing websites, allowing access to pornographic materials to thousands of online users.”
