Surely they can't claim to have been ignorant of the fact that a middle school girl was locked up in one of thier rooms for 6 months. Didn't they find it at least a little strange that the room had more men going into it daily than the men's restroom at an "all you can drink" Octoberfest? Of course, this will also be blamed not only on the decadent foreigners but also the internet which provided the key for this crime to take place - the true culprits will probably receive a fine - fully aware that they have done wrong as in the case of the teacher molesting (allegedly - but found guilty of) his young female students.

Teenage Girl Forced to Sell Sex

By Kim Rahn
Staff Reporter

The police Monday caught three people who imprisoned a 14-year-old girl in a motel for six months and forced her to prostitute herself with more than 800 men.

The three people, including a 20-year-old woman and her boyfriend, 20, confined the middle schoolgirl, who had run away from home, in a motel in Gwangju from last November. They forced her to have sex with 800 men they encountered through Internet chatting over six months until May 22, according to the police.

The girl had to have sex with more than five men a day. The three adults charged each client between 100,000 won and 200,000 won, raking in a total of 120 million won.

The three people beat her up and burned the back of her hand with cigarettes whenever she begged them to let her go home, according to the police.

She escaped from the motel to her uncle’s house in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, and the three people who went there to kidnap her were arrested by the police.

The police are investigating the 800 men who had sex with the girl, including professors, doctors, pharmacists and college students who were among the alleged clients.

Some of those men purchased sex from the girl although they were aware that she was confined and beaten up _ two professors had sex with her a dozen times, while a pharmacist who was another “patron” brought ointment and rubbed it over her wounds when having sex, the police said.
