According to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Wednesday, Nam Kyung-eup, 29, was an accomplice of Cho Ju-bin, 24, who called himself "baksa (doctor)." Together, they operated chat rooms in which they sexually abused many women.
"I'm sorry," Nam told reporters as he was taken to a van parked near Jongno Police Station in Seoul. "I admit (the charges)."
Nam was a paid-up member of Cho's channels before conspiring to find targets and coercing victims to have sex in front of cameras, police said.
A seven-member police committee ― including a lawyer, a psychologist and a journalist ― decided to disclose Nam's identity Tuesday. He immediately filed for an injunction, which the court rejected Wednesday.
So far, police have disclosed the identities of six suspects in the scandal, including Nam and Cho.
Last month, the face of Ahn Seung-jin, 25, an accomplice of Moon Hyung-wook, the creator of the "Nth rooms," was revealed as he was taken to the prosecutors' office in Daegu.
