0

The 30-year-old South Korean has been sentenced to four years in prison for sexually abusing minors in an unnamed “popular” metaverse. This is reported by local media.

According to the publication, the defendant signed up for one of the Korean virtual reality platforms. From December 2021 to March 2022, she interacted with middle and high school students through her character.

The man gave gifts to the minors and in return asked him to send her nude photos. He also found obscene messages on his computer.

The accused admitted his guilt. When sentencing, the court took into account that sexual material was not distributed or used for profit.

In addition to the prison sentence, the person concerned will be subject to a mandatory 80-hour treatment program for sexual deviations and will not be able to work for organizations working with children for seven years.

Recall that in June, the Australian Federal Police together with Monash University began training artificial intelligence to recognize child abuse.
