It was confirmed that an official in charge of managing the wearer of electronic anklets was arrested on charges of digital sex crimes in September.



According to the Ministry of Justice on the 20th, the Ministry of Justice lifted the position of the'probation officer' employee A, who was arrested in September, and requested the disciplinary committee to dismiss him.



The probation post is the job of the Ministry of Justice in charge of the management of sex offenders wearing electronic anklets, consignment boys, and supervisors to be treated.

Mr. A, who was appointed in June of this year, is said to have been hired only for several months at the time of arrest, so he was not in charge of public affairs related to sex crimes.




A's specific charges have not been revealed, but it is highly likely that this is a related charge as the National Police Agency's Digital Sex Crimes Special Investigation Division is investigating illegal filming and illegal pornography production and distribution.



The Ministry of Justice said that Mr. A was convinced that he had committed a crime before his appointment and that he would end his disciplinary action when the trial is over.




According to the'Digital Sex Crime Control Status' data received by the National Powers' Office of Representatives Kim Hyung-dong and Park Wan-soo from the National Police Agency, the number of public officials that the National Police Agency's Digital Sex Crime Special Investigation Headquarters has cracked down on digital sex crimes since its launch in March this year reached 149.



By occupation, the number of soldiers and military personnel was the highest with 128, followed by 8 teachers and 4 police and local government officials each.



Rep. Kim Hyung-dong said, "I am concerned that sex offenders in the number n number are being arrested in the Ministry of Justice and the police, which are the power agencies," and said, "In order to restore the public's trust, we need to investigate sex offenders through additional investigations."
