Relocation of South Korea’s notorious child rapist sparks outrage, legal debate

The relocation of convicted child rapist Cho Doo-soon to a new residence in the same neighbourhood has reignited public fury in South Korea, intensifying calls for legal reforms to restrict high-risk offenders.

Recently, Cho moved to a new residence just 2km from his previous home in the city of Ansan in Gyeonggi province, local media reported.

The Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency said it received a notice from the Ministry of Justice on Friday regarding Cho’s change of residence.

The relocation, reportedly due to the lease on his previous accommodation expiring, has sparked fear and outrage in the community. Residents, particularly parents, are alarmed by his continued proximity to schools, parks and family areas.

In response to the public outcry, authorities have ramped up security measures. Police say they have installed a monitoring system at his home including 35 surveillance cameras, intensified patrols around his neighbourhood and plan to relocate a security centre closer to his new address.
