In November 2021,the South Korean Supreme Court finalized prison sentences of 34 years and 42 years for Moon and Cho respectively, for coercing minors, sexually harassing them both online and in person, threatening them to distribute the sexually explicit videos to friends and families, and forcing them some of the victims to write sexually explicit phrases on their bodies through self-harm. Team Flame, the investigative journalism team that first investigated and reported the Nth Room case, noted that it is unfortunate these cloud services are brought up less when talking about digital sex trafficking in South Korea, when in fact the majority of illegal sexual abuse content (including those of minors) are distributed through cloud services.
