Jung Joon Young completes 2nd round of questioning + police to request arrest warrant

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

The police have decided to request an arrest warrant for Jung Joon Young for violating the act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Violence Crimes.

On March 18, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Provincial Special Detective Division revealed that they summoned Jung Joon Young for a second round of questioning the night before. The singer’s first round of questioning took place on March 14, where he was questioned for 21 hours regarding charges of filming and circulating illegal hidden camera footage.

The police also announced their plans to request a warrant to arrest Jung Joon Young. They came to the decision within six days of booking the singer on charges of spreading hidden camera footage and photos. However, the police do not have plans to issue a warrant for Seungri yet.

Jung Joon Young is currently under investigation for filming and sharing hidden camera footage and photos of sexual acts in chatrooms that include various male celebrities, CEOs, and non-celebrity friends. In the chatrooms, the participants allegedly solicited prostitution, shared hidden camera footage, talked about bribing high-rank police officers, and more.

Other allegations made against Jung Joon Young include the singer receiving prostitution services as a gift from former Yuri Holdings CEO Yoo In Suk and using his ties to the police to get rid of the key evidence to his 2016 case against his ex-girlfriend. It was further reported that Jung Joon Young had been the target of an investigation from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency about hidden camera footage in November 2018.

I'm genuinely surprised he's got an arrest warrant. I wonder if it's public pressure or what. I mean I'm totally happy about it but I can honestly say my pessimism had be doubting.

i admit i am surprised too, but with all of the attention on this and the scope of everything i guess they feel they have to be seen doing something at least?

i guess we'll have to wait and see where this ends up but hopefully it's jail for all.

i think it's to deflect attention away from what the CEOs and politicans are doing and how they have bought off the police. it seems like they're doing something good and improving their reputation by showing that they can't be completely corrupt if they're arresting a celeb but at the same time they probably won't try to arrest the CEOs and other higher-ups involved who have more power and influence and are supporting these celebs financially in their crimes

wow, this is big news. i'm slightly worried that he's going to get off easy tho. i wonder why seungri hasn't been arrested yet -- is it because he's caught up in more business-like shit in regards to burning sun?

I wonder at the delay too.
Maybe the international aspect will mean when they get him they get him good.

I hope they're not arresting him to kind of "throw him under the bus" so the big fish can get away (although the piece of shit should be in jail for life imo) and/or to distract/satisfy the public

that's exactly what i'm worried is happening but hopefully the president of the whole country making a statement about this case will lead to some accountability
