In November last year, 40-year-old Miss A, a sixth-grader, began receiving messages from men on Twitter and other social media.

Men I didn't know complimented me on her appearance in private Twitter messages, chatted affectionately, and asked for photos of Miss A.

They created a de facto master-slave relationship, role-playing as master and slave, father and child, and ordered Miss A to take pictures of her body and send it to her.

In June last year, police launched an investigation and arrested 11 men, including 6-year-old high school student Choi Mo-kun, and detained six others.

Since November last year, they have been found to have received more than 12,6 pieces of sexual exploitation material from Miss A alone.

There were mainly office workers in their 17~25s, but they were caught red-handed by the report of Miss A's parents.

[Kim Sung-taek/Head of Cyber Crime Investigation Division, Gyeonggi South Police Agency: The case was filed after a parent reported that their child was being induced into sexual conversations.]

In addition to Miss A, police also found other sexual exploitation material of other children and adolescents in the arrested men's storage.

There were 6 confirmed victims and more than 11,1 cases of sexual exploitation material.

Police have investigated 700 of them and will continue to investigate the remaining 20 victims.

The police said, "If you are using social media and receive a request to send a photo, you should notify your guardian immediately, and parents should also be aware of their children's use of social media."
