Three weeks have passed since Jo Doo-soon (68), a child rape criminal, was released on December 12 last year. The YouTubers who made a fuss in front of Jo Doo-soon’s house and caused inconvenience to the residents disappeared, and Jo Doo-soon, who seldom appeared, went out for the first time in 15 days. Authorities such as the police and Ansan City are making various efforts to help residents regain their sense of stability.

According to the Ansan Compliance Support Center (Ansan Probation Office) and the Ansan Danwon Police Station on the 2nd, Cho Doo-soon left the house for the first time for about 30 minutes to watch the market at the end of last year. Cho Doo-soon’s outing was conducted under consultation with a probation officer who closely monitored him 24 hours a day, one-to-one, and it is known that the probation officer accompanied him when he went out. It was confirmed that the police were also aware of the fact that Jo Doo-soon was going out and were poised to take action if there were any unusual issues. Currently, the Ansan Danwon Police Station has formed a response team consisting of five police officers and maintains 24-hour contact with Probation Officer Cho Doo-soon.
In addition, the police have installed a security post near his residence from the 11th of last month to prevent Jo Doo-soon’s re-crime, and have continued patrol by mobilizing two patrol cars. At the security post, police officers of the Gyeonggi Southern Office and police officers at the nearby police box are working in groups of 8 people per group. However, in order to control access to outsiders, the police stopped the identification process that was conducted 50m outside Cho Doo-soon’s house. An official from the police explained, “It was a temporary action taken by YouTubers at the request of the residents because of the fuss.

In fact, as some YouTubers flocked in front of Jo Doo-soon’s residence to broadcast live and attempted to invade the residence, the invasion of portrait rights and privacy of residents was serious. Accordingly, Ansan City requested YouTube to delete related videos, and YouTube said, “If you send links to videos that violate YouTube’s internal regulations, we will review whether they can be deleted.” Ansan city official said, “(Portrait infringement) is focusing on serious videos. We plan to deliver video links to YouTube next week.”
The police investigation of YouTubers who made a fuss is also in the process of finishing. The police sent two YouTubers who assaulted a police officer in front of Cho Doo-soon’s house (charges of obstructing the execution of public affairs) and two YouTubers who fought with them (the charges of assault) to the prosecution last month. A police official said, “The three people who damaged the official vehicle that Jo Doo-soon came on have been investigated, and the investigation will continue with the remaining two.

The authorities will make continuous efforts to ensure that residents can live a stable life. Ansan-si official said, “The residents’ anxiety was severe, with only 300 civil petition calls received a day right after release, but recently, only one or two calls a day, and so on, have decreased in frequency.” I explained what measures to prevent recidivism were in place. I will do my best to respond to the residents so that they do not become anxious.” A police official also said, “Compared to three weeks ago, the residents seem to have regained a lot of composure, but their anxiety has not disappeared.”
