A well-known YouTuber with 200,000 subscribers is under police investigation for charges including sexual assault of a minor, animal abuse, and spousal assault, causing widespread shock.
According to reports from Seoul’s Jongno Police Station and Incheon Michuhol Police Station on the 16th, YouTuber A is being investigated for allegedly assaulting his wife B at a lodging facility in Incheon Michuhol-gu in the early hours of the 13th. A is accused of inflicting a three-week injury on B by punching her in the face. During this incident, A reportedly confiscated B’s cell phone, but B was able to report A to the police with the help of the lodging staff.
A is also accused of capturing parts of B’s body on film and uploading it to YouTube. Prior to this, in August, he was reported for kicking his pet dog to death.
The case doesn’t end here. A is currently awaiting a verdict in a trial for sexual offenses against a minor. He is alleged to have cohabited with a 13-year-old viewer for about two years and engaged in at least 34 sexual acts. Prosecutors have requested a nine-year prison sentence.
