Members of right-wing online community “Ilbe Storehouse” are under investigation for allegedly spreading false information about the recent Sinan rape victim.
On May 22, three men allegedly raped a female school teacher in her 20s at Heuksan Island, off Sinan County, South Jeolla Province.
But five Ilbe members trying to discover who the victim was distributed personal information about another teacher who had nothing to do with the case, claiming she was the victim.
The woman has filed a defamation suit against the members with the Seoul Metropolitan Police. She says she quit her job under extreme mental pain because of the information.
Police have passed the suit to the cyber-crime department at Ilsan police station.
