Authorities have reported that they have captured three teens for forcing an underage girl into prostitution.
The North Jeolla Province's Jeonju Wansan Police Station revealed on November 24 that they have arrested 18-year-old Jung and booked 18-year-old Lee and another unidentified 18-year-old for forcing a minor into prostitution and pocketing the money from prostitution for themselves.
The three culprits were reported to have lured 14-year-old Park and her boyfriend, also identified as a 14-year-old who shares the surname Park, to their one-room residence in Jeonju City this past November 15 and confined them. Afterwards, they threatened Park that they will "kill her boyfriend" if she didn't do as they said and prostituted her a total of four times.
