The South Korean supreme court twice reversed a lower court ruling that had established that posting selfie nude photos without the subject’s consent qualified as a sex offense. It may qualify as a lesser version of revenge porn, but it no longer qualifies as a sex offense according to Korean law.

In the sickening ruling, as he had not personally used a camera to obtain the photos, the law did not apply, they ruled. Seo can still be prosecuted for distribution of illicit materials (porn itself is illegal in Korea), but won’t be any penalty specifically for distributing the pictures of his ex-girlfriend without the subject’s consent.
