Does the government have a plan to protect child labor? Issue 59. Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse 1) Current status 215. Currently brokerage of child and adolescent prostitution is in the form of 1:1 deals where terms are conditioned through chatting applications as a result of the increased use of smart phones and the advancement of the internet. According to the analysis on the types of first meeting places of adolescent prostitution conducted by the Korean National Police Agency, 528 cases of child and adolescent prostitution activities were prosecuted in 2010, of which 78.4% (114 cases) were sexual prostitution that used the internet as the communication channel. According to the Survey on Human Rights and Environment of Child and Adolescent Prostitution by the NHRCK, most frequently used prostitution method was the smart phone chatting application (67%), followed by internet chatting and cafes (27.2%). 216. The current Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles from Sexual Abuse stipulates child victims of prostitution as “corresponding children and adolescents” and can be subjected to protective disposition under the Juvenile Act. According to the abovementioned survey, 41.5% of child and adolescent victims of prostitution with experience of being put under protective disposition were treated as criminals by the investigative agency, and 46.6% thought protective disposition as a form of punishment. In relation to this, in 2017, the NHRCK pronounced the opinion to the chairman of the National Assembly that it is desirable to clearly rename “corresponding children and adolescents” to “children and adolescents victims,” and to strengthen protection and support after deleting the stipulation on protective disposition. 217. Children subjected to prostitution are reluctant to report prostitution because criminal records and investigative documents remain due to the protective disposition. There are cases where brokers or sex offenders that are aware of this abuse it to force prostitution. In addition, there are cases where the court does not interpret such children as victims but rather deem them as voluntary participants of prostitution unless brokerage, inducement or lure involving third party is clearly revealed.
