Korean police will go after overseas-based porn sites in a crackdown with the police of other countries, a top officer said Thursday.
"We are cooperating with other countries' police and the United States' Homeland Security investigations," National Police Commissioner Min Gap-ryong said. "We will get to the job so no longer can anybody make an excuse for their failure to crack down on the porn sites because they are based overseas and can't be touched."
Min made the remarks during the presidential office's Facebook broadcast.
Some overseas-based porn sites are easily accessible and offer hardcore porn and uploads of videos taken by hidden cameras.
The police commissioner said the latest six-week crackdown caught 1,012 for illegally taking videos with hidden cameras and uploading them, with 63 arrested, 100 percent up from the preceding six weeks.
Over 200,000 people have signed a petition on the presidential home page against hidden cameras and videos taken by them.
