One of the two offenders, surnamed Park, was sentenced to 10 years in prison, while the other assailant, surnamed Kang, received a four-year sentence, a spokesperson for the Seoul Central District Court told AFP. Typically, punishments for deepfake crimes have been far weaker, with court and police data released by lawmakers suggesting prosecution rates were low, and fine or probation the most likely outcome.
One of the victims told AFP in August that it had been a “huge trauma” to bring her assailant to justice after she was hit in 2021 with a barrage of Telegram messages containing deepfake images showing her being sexually assaulted.
