ー “‘I didn't rape or sexually assault anyone. Everyone watches videos on You Tube and other streaming sites. All I did was watch some sensational content. Why should I be punished for it?’ But from the victim's point of view, those actions inflict harm on them. The victims were exposed to a serious crime that they'll be traumatized for the rest of their lives. What's even worse is that it's not just one person who's involved. Multiple people were involved in the Nth Rooms case. This crime would not have occurred if there was no demand for it. Cho Ju-bin would've never been able to commit all those crimes had there not been a demand for such content.”
引用が長くなってしまったけれど。
こういう事件って、後先のリスクを考えずに安易に自分の写真や個人情報を見ず知らずの人間に送ってしまう人にも問題があると考えるスタンスだったんだけど、この言葉を聞いて気づいた。確かに、需要がなければそもそも論で起こる必要がなかったことなのよね。
この話がフィクションじゃなくて実際にあった事件で、カメラの前に座っているのも当時携わった関係者たちだから、事件の真相がどんどん紐解かれていく様がより面白く感じられる。
映像の作りはアメリカのドキュメンタリーにありがちなスタイルだなと思った。
