Girls' Generation forgives 92 slanderous fans

Nearly 100 Internet users accused of posting digitally-doctored nude photos of Girls' Generation in cyberspace avoided punishment thanks to a petition by the popular music group.

The Suwon Provincial Prosecutors' Office said Friday it had decided to drop a defamation case involving 92 netizens after the group filed a petition seeking their impunity.

Presenting a petition does not necessarily mean a case will be dropped because the prosecution holds the exclusive right to decide whether to put the accused on trial.

"Given most of them were minors with no criminal history, we decided not to indict them", a spokesman for the office said. "The handwritten petition by three affected members of the group was largely attributable".

In May, the band's agency, SM Entertainment, asked police to investigate widely circulating fabricated nude photos of the three ㅡ Yuri (Kwon Yoo-ri), Taeyeon and Jessica ㅡ on the Internet. Tracking down origins of these photos, police caught 92 netizens, most of them teenagers, and referred the case to the prosecution.



소녀시대 탄원서 제출 '합성사진 유포자 용서키로'

인기 걸그룹 소녀시대가 자신들의 합성 나체사진을 만들어 인터넷에 유포한 네티즌들의 선처를 위한 탄원서를 제출했다.

수원지검 형사3부는 29일 소녀시대 멤버들의 얼굴과 다른 여성의 나체 사진을 합성해 인터넷에 유포한 혐의를 받고 있는 92명의 네티즌들에 대해 '공소권 없음'을 판결했다.

이번 판결은 소녀시대가 제출한 탄원서가 결정적 역할을 한 것으로 알려졌다.

소녀시대 소속사측은 지난 5월 소녀시대 멤버들의 나체 합성사진 유포에 대해 수사해달라며 경기도 용인경찰서에 고소장을 제출했었다.
