Prosecutors will investigate Cho Sung-hyun, the main producer behind Netflix docuseries “In the Name of God: A Holy Betrayal,” which exposed the sexual crimes of cult leader Jeong Myeong-seok.
The Mapo Police Precinct in western Seoul, which was investigating Cho for violating the country’s Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, forwarded the case to the prosecution last week.
The police said that because the series features unblurred, nude videos of Jeong’s female followers, Cho had been “distributing videos that can cause sexual humiliation without subject’s consent.” They said that they see “distributing the series on Netflix as having a commercial purpose.”
