1. [+2,208, -15] I was wondering when this ba$tard was going to get caught...

2. [+1,736, -14] He's always been trash though

3. [+1,679, -13] Rotta? His pictures themselves are sexual harassment, I'm not even surprised

4. [+1,321, -11] Ugh, there's no guy who isn't involved in this, is there. I always got a weird vibe from his pictures. If these accusations are true, he better be punished.

5. [+955, -21] I'm not surprised to hear this at all..

6. [+454, -7] He's always been scandalous. Loli is not an art, it's not a preference. It's a 'crime'.

7. [+394, -6] And yet he spent all this time arguing that his pictures aren't suggestive or a decline in women's rights;;;

8. [+305, -1] This is why he got so mad when someone criticized him asking him to take pictures like that of his own daughter, tsk tsk. I'm honestly not surprised.

9. [+304, -1] I was seriously wondering when there'd be a #metoo about him...

10. [+266, -1] I knew it.. he better not show his face

"Once the photoshoot began, he would be more direct about his sexual harassment. He would ask me to suck on his finger and kept touching me saying he wanted to get me going." When the victim left the set, he sent a tet clarifying, "I did it because you were so pretty, I couldn't hold back". Then he sent a picture of her fully nude even though they had made prior agreements that her pictures would only be from the shoulder up.

1. [+714, -3] Even his name is... not normal tsk tsk

2. [+585, -5] He's been a scandalous figure for a while..

3. [+578, -4] He looks so gross

4. [+71, -0] I have a feeling this is why he became a photographer

5. [+65, -3] He's had so many controversies, looks like he's been doing dirty things behind it all along. He better be exiled.

6. [+50, -0] He seems to do this to shy, young girls. He'd never treat a popular girl group member like this since he knows it could break out into a scandal at any moment.

7. [+43, -2] I always thought he'd be like this

8. [+37, -0] "I couldn't hold back because you were so pretty" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ hilarious, have fun in jail

9. [+34, -0] I always thought he was weird but so many idiots defended him saying it's just his art

10. [+33, -0] I'm surprised this hasn't come sooner for him. Rotta's only making money thanks to the perverted men who drool over his loli pictures.

1. [+3,676, -98] The classic response they all give: "didn't you enjoy it too?", "why are you only saying this now? why didn't you say anything sooner?" ㅎㅎ the perfect way to make the victim look like a kkot-baem

2. [+2,937, -46] Rotta is seriously disgusting. He totally tried to abuse his power by using her nudes against her... he's horrible.

3. [+2,068, -23] Hul, these #metoos are coming out from every industry!!

4. [+595, -8] I knew he'd get caught one day. I always thought his pictures were perverted even though he kept acting like his loli concepts were "art". I always questioned why he cast such pretty models and made them pose in such perverted ways.

5. [+510, -12] I'll admit your pictures as "art" if you take your own daughter and photograph her in the same way. Isn't it weird how he threatened to sue when people told him to photograph his daughter like that? If it's just "art", then why'd he get so mad?

6. [+485, -7] His lolita concepts have always been weird. Any picture of his instantly puts me in a weird mood. It's no different from promoting pedophilia.

7. [+443, -4] Well his name itself means pedo, it's disgusting that Korea has allowed him to work for so long and get away with it. It's extremely dangerous for him to be photographing adults like they're minors and trying to express them in sexual ways. Makes me scared to even have a daughter in a society like that.

8. [+369, -8] Just because the victim never brought it up as a problem with you doesn't mean that what you did to her was justified;;;

9. [+331, -3] What do you expect from someone who calls his porn "art" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+300, -1] The victim specifically said "I asked him to delete (the nudes) but he said they were too pretty and that he couldn't. I was scared of not being able to do anything if he ever released them." If a model asks a photographer to delete her photos, he needs to delete them. Art or not, his work no longer is eligible to be considered art if the model doesn't want it.

11. [+274, -5] Obviously she was scared to say anything at the time because he had her nudes and she was scared over what he was going to do with them

12. [+269, -1] In situations like this, it's usually too late when the model realizes that she didn't want to comply with what happened on set. The feeling sets in but you end up going with the flow because you're not sure what's going on in the moment. We all have those moments where we're like, "Damn, I wish I said something" once it's all over...

1. [+235, -11] I remember a prosecutor recounting a situation similar to this model's where she felt so out of herself when everything was happening and having no one help her made her doubt herself, thinking maybe she was being too sensitive even as she was being sexually harassed. Unfortunately, while women are going through these thoughts, men don't think for once whether what they're doing is harassment. At the end, they just chalk it up to women being too sensitive.

2. [+214, -8] Well the #metoo movement only just began... I'm sure she felt upset at the time but didn't know how to handle it but now that time has passed and she's had the time to look over it, she realized what actually happened to her

3. [+131, -4] His name is Rotta after all ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+28, -4] How can he deny his crime just because it "wasn't a problem at the time"? That's the typical mindset of a criminal. Imagine how shocked the woman was at the time for her to not even be able to bring it up as a problem.

5. [+21, -0] She had no power then so she couldn't bring it up as a problem... just because she didn't say anything then doesn't mean what he did wasn't sexual harassment

6. [+17, -0] How did he expect her to bring it up when he was threatening her with her nudes?

7. [+5, -16] I find it hilarious of the model that she went to Rotta knowing exactly what type of photographer he is and still did a photoshoot in her underwear and her chest out. Did she think she was innocent in taking those photos for her?

8. [+4, -17] It's not like Rotta forced her to take pictures... didn't she voluntarily go and take her clothes off for him?
