S1 E12 손정우 미국송환 불허 BBC뉴스 기사

안녕하세요. 오늘은 원래 Ask Me Anything 시간이어야 하지만 손정우 미국송활 불허 소식을 듣고 이 기사를 먼저 이야기해보기로 했습니다. 기사가 짧고 내용도 모두 아시는 것이라 끊어읽기와 법률 단어 관련 정리로 생각하시면 될것 같구요. 마지막에 제 생각을 나눠보았습니다. 이 일을 계기로 청와대 청원도 늘고있는데요, 끝까지 이 일이 묻히지않도록 우리 모두 더 목소리를 냈으면 좋겠습니다.

A South Korean court has denied/ a US extradition request/ for the man behind one of the world's largest child sexual abuse websites./

Son Jong-woo, who ran the site Welcome to Video,/ served 18 months in South Korea/ for producing and distributing indecent images of children./

Following his initial release in April,/ Son was taken back into custody/ after a warrant was issued for US extradition./

But he will now be released again/ after the request was denied./

Campaigners had urged the court/ to send him to the US,/ where he would have faced a harsher punishment than in South Korea.

He was indicted in the US in August 2018/ on nine counts for his operation of the website,/ which he operated on the dark web./

On Monday,/ the High Court in Seoul decided that/ having Son in the country would be helpful/ in the fight against child exploitation./

"It cannot be ruled out/ that the extradition could hamper/ South Korea's investigation into sexually exploitative content,"/ the court said.

"The decision should not be interpreted/ as exonerating him./ Son should actively cooperate with the investigation/ and face proper punishment."/

Son was arrested in March 2018/ and authorities found around eight terabytes of videos of child sexual abuse/ during the arrest process.

He was found to be the operator/ of the website Welcome to Video/ - a covert online den/ for people who traded in clips of children being sexually assaulted./ Among the victims was a child of just six months./

Authorities tracked down more than 300 other people/ connected to the website/ in a wide range of countries/ including South Korea, Britain, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Spain, Brazil and Australia./

Son operated the site from 2015 until March 2018,/ when it was taken down./
