Episode 342: Korean College Student Forces 100 Girls To Mutilate Themselves On Camera LIVE For His Chatrooms
All the police could do was watch the livestream - the camera was set up in a motel room. They could see in the video the girl was helplessly crying as she was assaulted by a man.
One by one - more men showed up to the motel room to assault her.
They all stood in line in the order that they came - waiting for their turns. The victim would be found dead soon after. When news broke in the livestream chatrooms that she died - the comments started pouring in.
“Wait, did the motel girl really die? That’s so sad… we should go relieve ourselves on her funeral portrait. One last gift from us!
“Dang, if she knew she was going to die, she should have given us her body one more time.”
The police saw the video but they had no idea who these assaulters were, who orchestrated the attack, or how to even catch them.
All they knew was there were more victims. Hundreds of them. All victims of the Nth room. And they needed to save them before another dies.
