The US Justice Department and the federal prosecutors expressed disappointment over the decision of the South Korean court, which refused to repatriate Son Jung-woo, the operator of the world's largest child sexual exploitation site,'Welcome to Video'.
"We are disappointed with the court's refusal to deliver one of the world's most dangerous child sexual exploitation offenders, which has had a major impact on US citizens," the US Department of Justice quoted as acting prosecutor Michael Sherwin, prosecutor of the Washington DC Federal Attorney General. .
Nonetheless, US law enforcement officials said, "Thanks to the court's decision, we appreciate the efforts of the Korean Ministry of Justice on this issue, and we will continue to work with other international partners to fight online transnational crimes that exploit children." .
Earlier, at the request of the federal prosecutor who investigated the case, the US Department of Justice requested Korea to deliver a criminal offense against Son, but the Seoul High Court ruled against repatriation, saying that investigations are still under way in Korea.
