SOUTH Korea's top court ordered last week 47 years in prison for the mastermind of a vicious online sex abuse ring, extending his original sentence by half a decade.

Cho Ju-bin ran a group that blackmailed women and girls, including minors, into filming and sending sexual content from May 2019 to February 2020.

The group illegally shared these images in pay-to-view chatrooms on messaging app Telegram, in a case that reignited a national conversation over how seriously hyper-connected South Korea handles digital sex crimes.

Critics have accused authorities of being too lenient on the widespread illegal sharing of sexual content.
