The government and ruling party in South Korea have agreed to increase the maximum prison sentence for deepfake sex crimes to seven years, in response to a rise in female victims of illegal pornography. President Yoon Suk Yeol ordered a crackdown on digital sex crimes, leading to the decision during an emergency meeting at the National Assembly. The revision bill aims to extend the current five-year sentence to seven years for editing and distributing fake videos under the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes. In addition, the government plans to establish a special communication channel with Telegram and address the challenges of cross-border cooperation due to Telegram's overseas servers. The increase in minor victims, particularly students in middle and high schools, has prompted the Ministry of Education to create an e-service center for victims to report incidents. The rise in deepfake crimes follows previous efforts to combat "molka," which involves secretly filmed sexual material, and recent data shows a significant increase in victims seeking help for deepfake crimes in South Korea.
