The police in Gwangju have identified a website which has been carrying pornographic materials in violation of communication and information laws and indicted a 35-year-old Park who is believed to have been running the site.
They also indicted 21 others on charges of posting pornographic images of their wives and girlfriends using a “Torant” program.
Park began operating an office in Geumcheon in Seoul for operating the wrebsite and took in as much as 470 million won ($430,000) in profit. The site has 730,000 members, making the largest of its kind in the country.
The site evaluated materials posted and gave out rankings in 18 levels, from corporal to general, and members would pick up points for their postings.
Regular members paid 28,000 won ($26) and VIPs 32,000 won ($29) a month for accessing the materials on the website. Among those were a pastor who posted his wife’s photos on the site.
