Some offenders commit a series of crimes, such as Kim Geun-sik, who sexually assaulted 11 minors in the Seoul metropolitan area from May to September 2006. Sex crimes against minors have high risks of recidivism. However, during the same period, 3,195 criminals were ordered to register personal information after committing sex crimes against minors in 2017, 3,219 in 2018, 2,753 in 2019, and 2,607 in 2020, for a four-year average of 2,943 new registrations annually.Īlso, considering some offenders who have attempted but failed, and others who have not been ordered to disclose their information even after committing similar crimes, the proportion of possible pedophiles not receiving treatment may be higher. Shin Hyeon-young from the Democratic Party of Korea received from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service on Tuesday, about 300 to 400 people received treatment annually to manage sexual preference disorders from 2017 to 2021.Īmong them, patients with pedophilia numbered 10 in 2017, 21 in 2018, 22 in 2019 and 25 in 2020, averaging 19.5. Pedophilia, classified as a sexual preference disorder, requires medical approach. Experts call for more specific standards to judge pedophilic tendency while stressing that the patients’ will is the most important factor in treatment. Only about 20 people a year receive treatment to manage pedophilia, while sex offenders against minors who have been newly ordered to register their personal information surpassed 2,900 on average in last four years.
