A teenage ``girl'' arrested in central Seoul in March for offering to sell sex to adult men on the Internet has been found to be a boy, nearly a month after he was taken into police custody.
Before the 16-year old, only identified by his surname Choi, was found out through fingerprint identification, he was held in a lockup cell with five women at a Seoul detention center in Uiwang city, Gyeonggi Province, for 23 days.
After finding out his real gender, police immediately moved him to a cell for men and had to revise the case report.
According to police, Tuesday, Choi was arrested along with four others in late March on charges of selling sex to adult men.
He was dressed as a girl and used a female name when questioned by police. Because of Choi's feminine physical features and attire, investigators were completely fooled.
Police said Choi solicited adult men on online chatting sites. When they met in a motel room, Choi stole the men's wallets and ran away while the men were taking a shower.
He was taken into custody after a sting operation by Hyehwa Police Station in late March, and then transferred to the Seoul detention center in early April. Until Choi was fingerprinted in late April, he was housed in the same cell with female detainees.
For minors aged under 17, fingerprint identification is the only official tool to distinguish genders. Koreans receive a resident identification card when they become 18 years old.
A prosecutor who investigated Choi at the detention center said the latter was confused about his gender identity.
성매매 소녀 남성으로 밝혀져
인터넷에서 남성들에게 성매매를 알선하던 10대 소녀가 경찰서에 수감된지 한 달 만에 남자로 밝혀졌다.
여성구치소에서 5명의 여성과 함께 23일 동안 있던 최씨(16)로만 알려졌던 이 소녀는 지문 감식을 통해 남자라는 게 밝혀졌다. 그의 성을 확인한 경찰은 남자 구치소로 바로 옮겨놓고 공소장내용을 정정했다.
주민등록증이 나오지 않은 18세 미만 청소년들에게는 지문만으로 그들의 신분을 확인할 수 있어 처음에 잡혀왔을 때 이름과 옷차림 등 여성상을 하고 있어서 경찰들이 완전히 속아 넘어갔다.
이 소년은 인터넷 채팅을 통해 성매매를 하기로 했고 남성이 샤워를 하는 동안 지갑을 훔쳐 달아난 혐의를 받고 있다.
