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.
