Dr. Jo Joo-bin created a three-level paid member room, and sprayed the most sexual exploitation in the three-level member room, where entrance fees are expensive.
The police have been tracking paid members based on their cryptocurrency remittance history, but the investigation of free members who downloaded sexual exploits without paying an admission fee is also in earnest.
It was confirmed as a result of SBS interview that the National Police Agency has ordered the identification of 280 free members to be registered at each local police office.
Due to the lack of cooperation from the Telegram headquarters, it was difficult to track free members without remittances, but the police found a breakthrough when Jo Joo-bin gave free members the name of a specific victim in December of last year and ordered them to climb the rankings of real-time search terms.
A court order was issued to obtain a list of those who searched for a specific person's name at a specific time on the portal, and compared and contrasted them with the participants of the free chat room found on Jo Joo-bin's mobile phone.
It was reported that Jo Joo-bin also ordered the search and then searched with him and stepped on his tail to the police.
The police are investigating the possession of sexual exploitation targeting free members, and are also reviewing ways to apply business obstruction to the manipulation of portal search terms.
