On February 10, during the final trial due to the case of extortion of Gujeyeoak, chaired by judge Park Yi-Rong at the criminal division of the District Court of Suwon, the ministries public made their request for conviction.
In addition, a five -year sentence was requested for the lawyer Choi, who was offending alongside Gujeyeok, while a three -year sentence was requested for YouTuber Jujakgambeolsa.
For Caracula and Crocodile, who have been accused of helping and promoting extortion, public ministries sought sentences respectively for the prison of two and one year.
Public ministries explained their reasoning, “The accused took advantage of the learning of someone’s weakness by chance and meticulously planned his crime to satisfy his greed. In an attempt to increase subscribers and opinions, he has created provocative content in a competitive way, using fame to threaten to expose the private issues of a specific person and extort money. “
Gujeyeoak, in his final defense, denied all the accusations and argued that the key tests of the case – an audio recording – were obtained illegally.
In his last statement, he said, “A scammer intentionally approached me and stole my phone. They therefore missed the recording and presented it to the media and ministries, which led to this situation. However, I would like to honestly apologize if my actions have caused the exposure of the victim’s personal pain.“
Gujeyeoak was arrested and offended for extorting 55 million krw from Tzuyang in October 2021 threatening to upload a video accusing it of “Present excessive causes and harass small businesses“.
Caracula and Crocodile have been accused of encouraging Gujeyeok to extort money rather than simply expose Tzuyang through a video, saying: “It is more profitable to take money directly from her. “
The lawyer Choi, who was the legal representative of A, former CEO and ex -boyfriend of the Tzuyang agency, was also accused of blackmailing Tzuyang, helping Gujeyeok’s extortion and forcing A.
Last July, the accusations emerged that YouTuber “Cyberwrecker” had blackmailed Tzuyang using her past against her. During the investigations, it was revealed that Tzuyang had suffered an exploitation, the examination of violence and the illegal shots at the hands of his ex -boyfriend.
The Court will issue its final verdict in this case on February 20.
