Whenever it takes place in Japan or S. Korea, the ending is always "the perpetrator was found guilty of the worst crimes imaginable, but it's been like 10 years, so they're free and, by the way, we don't know their identity" I love both countries, but it's embarrassing how much they protect unredeemable criminals. You'd think at least out of shame, these laws would change, but apparently not.
Japan is progressing though, like their recent change of the age of consent, including male rape victims and abolish limitation. Japanese government actually listen to their people. The same can't be said for South Korea
@@mh-ht2fp Sorry, but just a week ago she talked about how the perpetrators were free and committed more crimes, including SA and attempted murder. Can't quite recall if it was in Korea or Japan since she talked about both countries in that video. Also, I don't know why you're saying "your". I have never even been to the US.
@@mh-ht2fp if a murder kills someone they should never be allowed to have freedom again idc if they never reoffend they took away someones like they do not deserve to live happily ever after. stop defending an injust system. at least the one thing America does right is keeping their murders in jail for longer than 15 years. (usually)
@@heidih3048idk about the korean justice system, but where I'm from you could try to charge her with attempting to tamper with evidence, but it would still be tricky to prove
@@Bumpgin But how could you prove she attempted, when the items no longer exist? Even if she was somehow caught on CCTV carrying the items or even damaging the items, it could be argued that they were not the specific items in question, but rather were similar unrelated items..
Depends on the support. I consider turning him in and holding him responsible yet still remaining in contact support. 🤷♀️ Covering up the crime and insisting he is awesome is delusion or worse…
The mother of the man who SA'd my neice for years (starting at age 3) told my neice it was her (my neice's) fault and she was lying. My neice can't have kids now because her insides have so much scar tissue 😢😢
A lot of countries have much lighter or harsher sentencing than people from the US might be used to. It blows my mind that the maximum sentence for the worst crimes is still only like 30 years in a lot of countries.
@@coffeegoblynnIn Germany lifelong is 26 yrs I think, but if the criminal is ruled as ‚non-rehabilitable‘ and to be a danger for society they are kept held in special facilities really lifelong
Ain’t no way smh I don’t have any sons but my oldest daughter just had a baby boy and I love him so so much but ain’t no way I’d protect him if he did something horrible like that
This woman is so emotionally invested and insanely well-talented at commentating and distributing the information. The dude is asking the right questions too
I literally started balling my eyes out when i heard the parents kept their gate open so she can feel welcome to come back. My heart aches for the families who lost their child because of this awful man.
Oh my god hearing the parents say they’re still checking shelters and leaving their door unlocked for her to come home made me cry at work 😢 poor parents
As was said in the video by a Korean I believe " S Korea is a nice place to live, if your a criminal" Just seems like all the judges, politicians, police, government officials anyone it judicial system only work for money and not actually because they take the job seriously or care as long as they get their paycheck. I think there is corruption where ever you live, but SK seems messed up
As a parent there is no statute of limitations when it comes to your child. No justice? That isn't a possibility for my children. I promise that prison would be far more preferable than answering to me.
I can’t imagine not immediately taking those tapes to the police station. It was selfishness, she didn’t want her name sullied along with his. Disgusting.
50:00 as someone with a paranoid schizophrenic uncle, you can definitely tell by the writing. Everything he writes is completely nonsensical, nothing meticulous and planned like what this gross PoS wrote
I tend to agree. I’ve literally had nightmares of me begging my k!ller to leave my body somewhere people could find it, so my mom wouldn’t forever wonder what happened to me…. Sick world we live in that these are things we dwell over.
Not ever knowing anything would definitely be harder than knowing. Because a person's mind will then go crazy looking for them in every crowd, hoping you see them, or thinking about every horrible scenario they might have went thru or could still be going thru! That is terrifying! I think knowing the one horrible scenerio and that they are no longer suffering would allow for some healing to begin.
She is such a great storyteller. With how disturbing these cases are, she tells it in a way that has you understand the depravity and disgust without giving you nightmares
I don't need to imagine. Trusting a man is almost impossible for some women. Not all men are bad, but to err on the side of caution is a must for many women now.
Knowing that the families are still waiting still breaks my heart. Imagine the amount of happiness on their face and in their lives even if any one of the girls would have returned feels so reassuring. Hope the family members soon find peace🙏
I know a prison psychiatrist and she told me that only less than 10% of pedaphiles can be rehabilitated. She stated it's extremely hard to rehabilitate them. So it's scary to imagine this man is free right now
I don’t believe they can be. It’s like saying enough therapy will make a gay man straight. It’s what turns them on. You’re not going to change it sadly. 😢
@@TsundeReaI think a select few of them can, such as p*dos that were victims of CSA themselves to such a chronic extent that such vileness is normalized to them. But they should ALWAYS be monitored.
steph, never stop making these and please make subtitles for the language of where the case takes place. there needs to be more awareness for this circus of a justice system in korea and other countries, let them know the world is watching
I know a lawyer who sexually abused his daugther from the age of none. She was a baby when the abuse started. I was the one who discovered it. I told the mother but she protected the father. I told the police, they wouldnt prosecute, because of the lack of evidence. It was absolutely horrific. He got away with it because of his High status in society.
My dad is a truck driver, and for the past 4 weeks I’ve been on the road with him. I can GLADLY say that his new guilty pleasure is the Rotten Mango Podcast on Spotify. He absolutely cannot get enough of how you tell stories and I’m so glad he likes it! I’ve been listening for years and I just want to say thank you for making videos we can listen to while driving because it is soooo tiring, he uses it to stay awake and keep his mind sharp and occupied. WE LOVE YOU STEPHANIE!!!
I really needed to hear a wholesome story about a dad and their child, I lost my dad almost a year ago now - he and I LOVED going on roadtrips and he always enjoyed the Rotten Mango videos I played him… He just had such a vested interest in MY interests because he loved me so much…. Just, please… cherish this time with your dad and treasure it. I thought I’d have my Superman around a lot longer than I got to, but I’m just incredibly thankful I was blessed with such an amazing dad. He could’ve been a horrible person, having endured a hellish childhood that rivals that of most serial k!llers, but he rejected being a bad person and decided to make a difference in this world. He ended the cycle of abuse and I’m SO proud to be his daughter… sorry for the rambling.
@@HavianEla I love this. I’m so glad you shared your story, it’s lovely to hear. I will forever cherish and moments I spend with my dad, thank you for reminding me to leave my room or watch that silly movie with him even if I don’t think it’ll be fun. And don’t worry about the ramble cause I read the WHOLE thing and loved every word u said!
Statue of limitation is such fking bs. I cant believe he got away. And wow what an epic fail on those detectives who forgot to record when he made that confession. And how in the world did he only get 15 years for murder?? That's insane. He should've either been given the death sentence or life in prison.
I mean I'm impressed he even got 15 as a lot only get like 5 years even when it involves a kid or at least based on the S.K crime videos I watched stephanie talk about.
His x wife didn't immediately go to police after seeing the videos and even after her brother is murdered she still didn't tell anyone during the murder trial of her brother. His psycho mother helped destroy evidence. The law gives him a pass and they even protect his identity... no words... best of luck society...
my mind is boggled by why she confronted him first before going to the police after seeing the VHS tapes or packing her bags that instant. what explanation would have been "rational" enough for her to be like, 'you know what? you're right i *was* overreacting. that's on me.' if it's a homemade vhs tape by a rando civilian, i highly doubt cg could be incorporated but for crazy person's argument sake, let's say it was somehow ALL CG that this man put together. that makes someone think, 'oh ok, i'm cool with my partner dreaming up this scenario in the first place.' like, hello??
@@the_dailiesright. I couldn’t believe when he heard she decided to confront him about it. What?? Run to the police with those tapes woman! Your husband is disturbed and possibly a danger to you too!
I was sa'd by my "dad" who adopted me the day I was born so I always had his last name & never knew I wasn't his daughter until my mom yells during an extremely volatile argument "tell her the truth go ahead" vindictively to hurt him not considering how life changing it would affect me. point being-the assault happened at 8 yrs old while she was working & he was incredibly drunk. statute of limitations is 8 years in Arizona. so by the time I had the courage & was in my early 20's it was too late to see him get the justice I deserved. im 40 now & think about it nearly every day w/ anger, sadness & apathy. I believe in karma, but boy it sure takes its sweet time...
@@prakratisingh8thb147I’m just going to assume English is not your first language….in English, the term “taking its sweet time” means that something is happening really slowly, usually in regards to something bad, but not always. It can be used in a whimsical manner, also.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. You might want to double-check. most states are lifting their statute of limitations on crimes that happened against children. If that is the case, even if you have no evidence, you're coming forward May encourage somebody else to as well. Good luck to you in your healing journey.
So why didn't the wife take the vhs tapes to the police instead of waiting for him to come home to shout at him, she saw who it was, she saw what happened, what kind of explanation was she hoping for 😮
I mean when you're dealing with such a shocking revelation about someone you're so close to, it takes more than a couple of hours to start making the most calculated sound decisions. We can sit here and say she could've and should've but you have no idea how you'd act in such a tough situation. Let’s not forget that she watched the video, the whole thing. Imagine how scarring that must've been.
I’m 55, BlockBuster Video was our Weekend!!🎉 It was FUN!! We got to see all of our friends and show off our boyfriends! ❤ It was real connections, face to face, smiles, hugs, neighbors & friends!! Then we went home , bonded, talked, laughed, popcorn & fun!!❤
I NEED to know if anyone figured out his identity. Like that one Korean person recently who started revealing the identities of these 44 rapists over a decade after the assaults happened.
I remember during some child abductions when I was a kid, I asked my mom if I were missing would she rather I be alive or deleted. She said if she couldn't get me back, she'd rather me be with God because she would at least know I wasn't continually being hurt. That's a nightmare scenario no parent should suffer, and it actually brought tears to my eyes when hearing just the YT-safe account of what those babies suffered. Can you imagine the sheer TERROR they felt? Pain their little bod...ok let me stop. My prayers and love are with EVERY PARENT WORLDWIDE, THROUGHOUT ALL TIME who have and will live this nightmare. I pray that every baby gets to grow up happy, healthy, and loved. I pray ppl with these sick inclinations SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY. my God.
@@sikorilzcx4513Was your mother a survivor? I’m a CSA survivor and have the same mentality: I’d rather be k!lled than r@ped, which I think was the massive take away from the Man v Bear debate on Twitter. Lots of men making fun of women thinking they don’t understand how dangerous a bear can be. No, we are very aware. We would just rather die than have our bodies be violated.
It’s so horrific, isn’t it? I remember having a nightmare after thinking about it, and I was begging my k!ller to bring my body somewhere it could be found so my parents would have peace…
To my understanding, there seems to be two groups of people with sick inclinations: There are those who know their attraction is wrong and should never be explored/indulged. They're against touching kids and they don't want to be attracted to them. I'm not sure how they go about dealing with their stuff, but they identify as MAPs (Minor Attracted Person) because they might look, but they (claim they) don't touch. Then there's the real sickos. The ones that nobody likes, and for good reason. The first group probably dislikes them most of all (hence the whole MAP thing) because this group are full-blown "pdf files" who dgaf; they'll give the bad touch. They don't care that they're fkd up and fking kids up in the process. I cautiously respect and appreciate the first group, but still wouldn't trust them around kids. The temptation might get the better of them, or for all I know, they could be lying about their no contact rules. Side thoughts: While I agree it's wrong to touch kids and stuff, I kind of can't help but think of gay conversion camps or whatever they sent gay people to back in the day. Gay conversion didn't exactly seem to work and most people these days think of such programs as sick and cruel. Is there such thing as MAP conversion camps? If so, how effective are they actually? Idk. Just....how does one stop being attracted to who they're attracted to? I AM NOT DEFENDING PDF FILES! I AM MERELY WONDERING! As a straight woman who's suffered a couple bad breakups, there have been times I decided "That's it! I'm a lesbian now!" But it doesn't work like that. So I really can't help but wonder how we (as a society) could help MAP's become AAP'S (Adult Attracted People)
In reference to the scenes she's describing from like 15 mins on or so.. that's just a movie. Not a documentary. She's just telling you a movie plot verbatim. Scene for scene essentially. You could skip the lame pretending it's real and just go watch it. It's k8nd of like a cheap and corny 70's fake documentary. They even take him to court saying it's too real at the end etc. This is just a fake movie being told rather than viewed. So she can😮 pretend it's real life content I guess. I believe it's a sneaky way of bypassing IP law.
The movie is called Cannibal Holocaust 19:39 they really do kill animals in it, and it is very graphic. There's a whole genre of horror about colonialism. That graphically shows torture porn. Don't watch it it's not worth it. They thought they were eating, but they left a full plate and it has rotted. They say they were trying to critique colonialism by asking at the end, who's the real savages. And acting like colonialists act. But all they ended up creating was something for colonialists to fantasize about and get off to.
I heard about this movie from a video games years and years ago. I was so confused and I read up on it and I was BAFFLED. As an adult it still surprises me stuff like this exists, but not as much anymore.. and it's sad .. the more "tame" version of this movie, which is a lot easier to watch is the Green Inferno. That movie was crazy. My favorite fact about Cannibal Holocaust, was that the director had some of the film crew cast sign a contract where they would "disappear" for a year to kind of give the movie a more ominous/ real documentary feel. Yeah that backfired, people really thought he KILLED the cast during the filming so he was arrested and he had to contact the cast to show up in court because of it to prove they were still alive and that it was part of the contract. Like, WHAT. You can't sit there surprised Pikachu face when people think you killed the cast when you killed actual animals on set in such gruesome ways. Absolutely BONKERS.
Yeah, this was one of the worst movies I've ever watched the animal cruelty was disgusting same with the SA scenes and she was 14, she didn't understand english either which is so messed up, overall the entire movie was so disturbing I don't recommend looking it up.
For normal people sure. But his mom still thinks of him as her baby when it’s confirmed he killed his brother in law. It’s for some reason women who always defend their sons, husbands, etc that they can do no wrong. Even though it’s been confirmed that they did a heinous crime. At least I’ve noticed that with the true crime stories I’ve seen. It’s always the woman who’s always how dare you blame my baby even though there’s a mountain of evidence proving his guilt. Hell I called my brother out for beating his kids and our mom was angry with me. Not the child beater and over all garbage human being
That's why they think they can get away with anything, bcs of their mothers who never held them accountable as kids and excused everything they've done and blamed everyone else for their son's mistakes @@bennu547
That really looks like an international child trafficking ring. Because, if he claims he's making money from this, than it means they are buyers. Also, how is first degree murder not punished by at least 25 years, if not life ?
The answer to the second part of your comment is "South Korean laws" Everytime I hear a crime against women in SK, my heart aches because I know justice will not be served
@@v.r.5417 This really is sad. Like, it's not the case were he was in a relationship with someone abusive, wanted to leave and then make sure they won't be stalked. This is a murder in cold blood of someone who's only "crime" is wanting to protect his sister. This makes me think probably South Korea indeed has insane laws.
Unfortunately, this isn't even uncommon around the world. In Finland, even though you can get a life imprisonment, the longest someone has ever been imprisoned is 25 years, and this happened in the 40s. On average, they stay only 18 years in prison.
My heart always aches when I hear how the parents of the victim waits for their child to come home leaving the door unlocked, never touching their room and personal belongings waiting for them to someday come back
steph describing cannibal holocaust as a documentary and me just being like "did she get duped by cannibal holocaust?" only for her to be like "yeah, this is fake actually!" and i was so relieved. they did still commit animal cruelty, though. it was awful.
I was thinking at the beginning of her description wow this sounds a lot like cannibal holocaust, thank god it was because omg. The movie is a hard watch because of the animal torture.
I was going crazy, because my memory of the movie is fuzzy and I kept thinking, but there aren’t cannibals in the Amazon? What is happening right now? Wait, is this Cannibal Holocaust???

There are some crimes for which there should NEVER be a statute of limitations -- "If I can outsmart the police for a ffew years, I'm then free ... yay! I can even start committing crimes again learning from my past mistakes!" Why would there ever be a statute of limitations for crimes like torture, kidnapping, sexual assault, snuff films, and so forth. Why? And it's rape. Not "R-word."
people tend to call it r-word or grape to avoid demonization or the taking down of the video. It's sad that it gets watered down to that, but on the other hand this content would likely not be available
Hi Stephanie, I agree, this guy is not schizophrenic bc he is too organized. He calls his mom from jail to get rid of his computer then tells her not to talk about it when she visits him. And he got like 14 years for killing his brother-in-law. These sentences need to be longer. He even sells these tapes overseas.
It blows my mind that in S. Korea (and other countries) there is a statute of limitations on crimes that result in death (any degree of murder, manslaughter and others).
Truly, like these murders and torturers are dangerous to the public. “It’s been a while, they may be a changed person.” They weren’t a changed person back then. Who knows if they changed or not. Forget the “they may have changed”, what about the victims who lost their life or survived the ordeal and now live with a traumatic memory. Do they not deserve justice for what happened to them?
There was one guy who molested kids, got caught, went away for 40 something years, got out at 71 and a few months later did it again and iirc killed them. The people that do that stuff just can't be fixed it seems
Its honestly scary to think about the fact that theres actual people out there, living with us. And we mightve even walked by them and scarier is that we might be the next victim without knowing it.
yeah its so weird to think about. i asked my grandpa how he saw the marriege of my mom and my father. he first thought it was a lovely relationship and a perfect marriege but he only saw the true form of my father when my mom called my grandpa demanding that he comes to help her kick out my father cuz she found bruises on me. my grandpas hatred towards my father only grew when he found out my father sa"d me multiple times. my grandpa feels still to this day so guilty that he didnt see the signs. it gave me such a diffrent aspact to life cuz everyone can be an abuser and we wouldnt know.
There is no other channel team like yours on TH-cam. Your writer is very talented, your acting is super engaging along with the background you set up & your editor is incredible. I’m also impressed that you all are also supporting advocacy groups. This story is so dark, as true crime tends to be, and it can be hard to do it without being invasive. You did that. Can’t say enough, just ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
South Korea + Japan has some ridiculous laws in which rapists, murderers, etc don't get much of a jail sentence and/or justice is not properly given. These two 1st world countries are backwards in its laws...an example:Junko Furuta, that one case is such a travesty.
i love Stephanie Soo for always delivering accurate news in the most respectful way. I always find myself always crying for the victims. its heavy for my heart
My stomach dropped when Stephanie said he was free and again after assaulting two more little girls. 😢 Like why?! He is obviously a danger to the community and should be locked away. Plus, him confessing in front of two law enforcement officers isn’t good enough. Like I get it cops do lie, but this guy is a monster. And his mom needs to be interrogated. So disturbing.
It’s so unnerving to think that people can really just put on a façade and socialize, knowing the horrific things they do and will continue doing until stopped.
@@davidjones8043right 😭I feel bad about petty comments I made to my parents in anger when I was younger. And then there’s people out there with no remorse for anything…it’s scary.
All of your stories are so so sad and heartbreaking i hate the ones that are able to just walk away freely after doing such awful sickness to these children
When Stephanie said 8 year old girl my heart dropped to my stomach and I immediately stopped eating my dinner, i wanted to throw up. These kinds of cases really make me wonder just how fucked up your brain has to be to find pleasure in such a thing. And the fact of the law still excusing such things and being lenient, it makes you wonder who are these people making these laws? are they the same type of people as those that are committing these crimes?

1:05:29 “ruining a good man’s life”… after everything he’s been accused of on so many separate occasions??? Getting out of prison and immediately going back because he reoffended?? Kid remembers in detail where he was assaulted and recorded by this man and it matches the descriptions of a different person who found his vids?? But sure he’s a good man..
For the record; the director of Cannibal Holocaust later came out and apologized for the animal cruelty in his film, and that in retrospect he understood the outrage and discomfort the abuse caused and is ultimately not sure why he had it done or recorded. That doesn’t make what he did okay, but at least he won’t do it again.
I don’t believe he won’t do it again. I don’t believe a single word that comes out of the mouth of a person capable of such cruelty in the name of money or pleasure.
We need to remember that is a very old movie. The feeling toward animals was completely different and also the freedom of directors for movies around the world was absolute. No one was really concerned about safety at the time. He claim that the reason he did that was to make the scene real and also that he did it with a documentarist spirit. Obviously was not okay then and is not okay now, but he is sincere when he said that he is sorry. The movie, even if is one of the most violent ever made was created with the honourable intent of describing and analysing the madness of contemporary society comparing it with the indigenous one. There is a reason why is still considered one of the best horror and gore movie of all time (and also the most infemous).
Is it just me or does it seem like she’s been blessing us with videos any more frequently than usual?? Thank you to Steph and your team for working so hard to pump these videos out!
When I told one of my parents about my s.a they said "how come no one remembers it but you" sa predators don't go around making it known in front of other adults that they sa children. This man did these horrible, horrific crimes and he may have not been punished by the hand of man, but he will be punished by the hand of God.
I'm sorry, but your parents are shit for that. Of all people that shouldn't have come from your own family. Not even can you be safe or have trust for those who you expect to protect you. The audacity to dismiss your experience is disgusting, it's not like you told them you saw some imaginary thing or said anything impossible.
I hate that this is so common, and unfortunately I've gotten the same from my parents too. it's always to save face, whether it's to have a lower crime rate or to make a family look good.
Yooo the second she started I knew exactly what it was 😂 the horror movie lore buff in me knows everything 😂😂 tho I refuse to watch the movie because of the animal deaths.
I just recently got done having a cannibal movie marathon with my boyfriend😂 The first one we watched was Cannibal Holocaust and the scenes in that movie were rough to watch. It wasn't as cruel as the Cannibal Ferox, though. That one had straight-up torture to the animals in that one.
@@kamiecheeks8434like real torture to animals, or fake? I’ve seen cannibal holocaust and other than the obvious animal cruelty, my main criticism is it was just a shit movie. And not like a fun shit movie, just all bad.
The Statute of limitation thing has always baffled me. Why does it exist, other than to give the perpetrator a chance to be completely free of consequences for their crimes if they can get away with it for a certain period of time. What’s the purpose of such a policy? Why do the lawmakers sympathise with the perpetrators so much that they would rob the victims of justice and dignity???
Same, like, i would be able to understand it under light crimes, like grafitti or something like that, but creating an statute of limitation for crimes like SA, Pdf and murder is INSANE to me.
I feel so greatly for these parents. I lost a daughter, she died. Nothing like this, but I so understand that loss and how it feels. Like you have stopped in time, forever getting left behind by the people, the world around you. Everyone else keeps going, the world keeps turning. You know you're moving with it all. But at the same time, you're not. So much passes and changes, but so much of who you were, who you are is so far behind everyone else. I don't think you ever catch up, not really. Though every day comes and you just keep going, you've got no choice.
it’s so disturbing to know that these type of people roam the earth free from what disgusting acts they have done and from the other side of the earth no less
Thank you so much for mentioning the very real animal deaths on screen from cannibal hollicaust. That turtle scene genuinely messed me up for years afterwards! I wish I had known before I watched because I would have known better!
@@kay6859because it’s an extremely infamous movie and it’s the movie that created the found footage horror genre. Without Cannibal Holocaust, we wouldn’t have the Blair witch movies, the VHS movies, Megan is missing, paranormal activity or the taking of Deborah Logan. That’s not to say it’s a good movie by any means, cannibal holocaust is insanely vile and sadistic. But it does have that appeal to morbid curiosity with how controversial and violent it is, and it’s a piece of horror movie history and some people like to see how the found footage genre has evolved from the original found footage horror movie. I haven’t seen it myself because I know there’s a scene where they kill a tarantula and I love spiders so I can’t bring myself to watch it, but I do understand the appeal the film has to some people.

Hey RM! There has been a sudden surge of kidnappings in the southeastern Indiana and Cincinnati area. There’s a 15 year old girl, a 16 year old boy, and a 17 year old girl from the quick research I’ve done, but my mom’s been telling me about it all week and I believe there may be more. I’m not sure if there’s a solid connection, but it may be worth looking into!
I’ve been married twice. My first marriage ended when I found his gross online activity. He was a monster for our entire marriage, a life threatening monster to me, but that last bit gave me the final push to escape. My second marriage…I have yet to escape. What I discovered less than a year ago, after 19 years together, is pretty bad, but nothing as bad as this video. However, I’m not certain I’ve found everything yet. I’m being very careful and putting all my energy into acting “normal” so I can keep digging. It’s probably more common than most people think to be married to an absolute monster and truly know nothing about it. All I’ve ever gotten were gut feelings, which I was raised to ignore, and a few strange hints.
you should focus on safety leaving not finding more evidence imo you’re putting yourself at more risk. do you have any family members or friends you can trust? if possible it’s better to not deal with it alone. after you leave safely if you’re still worried about other people being harmed maybe you can hire a private investigator. either way tho I think you should prioritize your own safety right now.
My dude, you got me with the Cannibal Holocaust thing, and what kills me is I've seen Cannibal Holocaust, I knew the story about the director being arrested under suspicion of the footage being real, I knew it was all fake, and when you started talking about the story my first thought was 'Oh, did they make the movie about actual events?' Like I honestly can't tell if it's just that I'm that dim or if you have this gift of drawing people in when you start telling a story (or some combination of both), but you got me. Damn.
Okay, but his wife also had the chance to expose his other inhumane acts when he was charged with the stabbing and murder of her brother in court. Why didn't she bring it up then, when the evidence wasn't destroyed? I understand that fear might have been a factor, but he was caught and being charged. Couldn't she have at least confessed to that? And why did she wait five years to speak up, only doing so when questioned by the police? What if the police had never visited her? Would she have carried that burden for the rest of her life? Would she have ever done something then?
this was what I was thinking, she did say tho that they didn't talk to her a lot but I believe she should of went out of her way to tell the cops, also maybe she was scared because the punishments in south Korea are very little and the guy would probably still be alive when he got out and like he said to her, he would end (yk) her if she told anyone about it
If only she spoke up he would have served more jail time, and now she spoke late but she did it anyway and he's a free man now ...... she had a chance to get him jailed longer if she stayed quiet out of fear why speak later at all?
Most likely because her brother got murdered right in front of her. I assume she was traumatized and it didn't cross her mind until the detective asked her
It genuinely disgusts me that the laws seem to protect these violent criminals instead of the people they’ve caused harm to. Not even revealing his identity to the public even after he’s been jailed twice, one for crimes involving children, it’s insane. He could just be around your child and you’d never know because the government thinks it’s important to reintegrate these type of people into society at the cost of your child’s safety
VHS tapes were still around in 2003. People had moved on to dvds, but most people at that time still had a decades worth of media on VHS and weren't just throwing them out. I was in high school at that time. My family primarily used dvds but our VHS player was still in the living room. I even still used it to record shows because DVR wasn't a thing yet, and TiVO was seen as a luxury that most middle class families didn't bother with.
50:11 I’m a CO. Ive dealt with plenty of people with schizophrenia. I can say I have seen one of them write in runes on the wall and he knew perfectly well what they said. So it’s possible.
The ending part about the mom who said "lets not meet too late" my heart broke.....may their souls find peace and may he (the "alleged" perpetrator) never know rest, peace or happiness ever.
I have been an avid true crime listener for years and feel like not much shocks me anymore because of how often I listen to true crime podcasts and shows.. I found Steph’s channel maybe a month ago and every single one of these episodes leaves my jaw on the floor saying “are you kidding me?! What the fu*k!” Amazed how some of these I’ve never heard of before! Her storytelling abilities are unmatched! I love Bailey and Kendall.. but there’s just something about Steph and her channel I can never get enough of!
Stephanie, thank you so much for defending severely and persistently mentally ill people. People with schizophrenia are much maligned. The general public do not understand much about schizophrenia and are afraid. I don't think the man in the video has schizophrenia but I do think he is unwell. Thank you for covering this story. ❤
Whenever it takes place in Japan or S. Korea, the ending is always "the perpetrator was found guilty of the worst crimes imaginable, but it's been like 10 years, so they're free and, by the way, we don't know their identity"
I love both countries, but it's embarrassing how much they protect unredeemable criminals. You'd think at least out of shame, these laws would change, but apparently not.
Japan is progressing though, like their recent change of the age of consent, including male rape victims and abolish limitation. Japanese government actually listen to their people. The same can't be said for South Korea
@@mh-ht2fp Sorry, but just a week ago she talked about how the perpetrators were free and committed more crimes, including SA and attempted murder. Can't quite recall if it was in Korea or Japan since she talked about both countries in that video.

Those families desperately waiting for their kids to reappear… It’d almost be less cruel to have a body just so they aren’t left hoping
I tend to agree. I’ve literally had nightmares of me begging my k!ller to leave my body somewhere people could find it, so my mom wouldn’t forever wonder what happened to me…. Sick world we live in that these are things we dwell over.
At least then they would have closure. Fearing the unknown and hoping for a resolution that will probably never happen is torture
Not ever knowing anything would definitely be harder than knowing. Because a person's mind will then go crazy looking for them in every crowd, hoping you see them, or thinking about every horrible scenario they might have went thru or could still be going thru! That is terrifying!
I think knowing the one horrible scenerio and that they are no longer suffering would allow for some healing to begin.

I know a lawyer who sexually abused his daugther from the age of none. She was a baby when the abuse started. I was the one who discovered it. I told the mother but she protected the father. I told the police, they wouldnt prosecute, because of the lack of evidence. It was absolutely horrific. He got away with it because of his High status in society.
My dad is a truck driver, and for the past 4 weeks I’ve been on the road with him. I can GLADLY say that his new guilty pleasure is the Rotten Mango Podcast on Spotify. He absolutely cannot get enough of how you tell stories and I’m so glad he likes it!

I thought I’d have my Superman around a lot longer than I got to, but I’m just incredibly thankful I was blessed with such an amazing dad. He could’ve been a horrible person, having endured a hellish childhood that rivals that of most serial k!llers, but he rejected being a bad person and decided to make a difference in this world.

To my understanding, there seems to be two groups of people with sick inclinations:
There are those who know their attraction is wrong and should never be explored/indulged. They're against touching kids and they don't want to be attracted to them. I'm not sure how they go about dealing with their stuff, but they identify as MAPs (Minor Attracted Person) because they might look, but they (claim they) don't touch.
Then there's the real sickos. The ones that nobody likes, and for good reason. The first group probably dislikes them most of all (hence the whole MAP thing) because this group are full-blown "pdf files" who dgaf; they'll give the bad touch. They don't care that they're fkd up and fking kids up in the process.
I cautiously respect and appreciate the first group, but still wouldn't trust them around kids. The temptation might get the better of them, or for all I know, they could be lying about their no contact rules.
Side thoughts: While I agree it's wrong to touch kids and stuff, I kind of can't help but think of gay conversion camps or whatever they sent gay people to back in the day. Gay conversion didn't exactly seem to work and most people these days think of such programs as sick and cruel. Is there such thing as MAP conversion camps? If so, how effective are they actually? Idk. Just....how does one stop being attracted to who they're attracted to? I AM NOT DEFENDING PDF FILES! I AM MERELY WONDERING! As a straight woman who's suffered a couple bad breakups, there have been times I decided "That's it! I'm a lesbian now!" But it doesn't work like that. So I really can't help but wonder how we (as a society) could help MAP's become AAP'S (Adult Attracted People)

You could skip the lame pretending it's real and just go watch it. It's k8nd of like a cheap and corny 70's fake documentary.

The movie is called Cannibal Holocaust 19:39 they really do kill animals in it, and it is very graphic. There's a whole genre of horror about colonialism. That graphically shows torture porn. Don't watch it it's not worth it. They thought they were eating, but they left a full plate and it has rotted. They say they were trying to critique colonialism by asking at the end, who's the real savages. And acting like colonialists act. But all they ended up creating was something for colonialists to fantasize about and get off to.
thought that's what it was. I watched it a while back, had no idea the animal death was real :(
Rip turtle 🐢 😢 always remember
I heard about this movie from a video games years and years ago. I was so confused and I read up on it and I was BAFFLED. As an adult it still surprises me stuff like this exists, but not as much anymore.. and it's sad .. the more "tame" version of this movie, which is a lot easier to watch is the Green Inferno. That movie was crazy. My favorite fact about Cannibal Holocaust, was that the director had some of the film crew cast sign a contract where they would "disappear" for a year to kind of give the movie a more ominous/ real documentary feel. Yeah that backfired, people really thought he KILLED the cast during the filming so he was arrested and he had to contact the cast to show up in court because of it to prove they were still alive and that it was part of the contract. Like, WHAT. You can't sit there surprised Pikachu face when people think you killed the cast when you killed actual animals on set in such gruesome ways. Absolutely BONKERS.

That really looks like an international child trafficking ring. Because, if he claims he's making money from this, than it means they are buyers.
Also, how is first degree murder not punished by at least 25 years, if not life ?
The answer to the second part of your comment is "South Korean laws"
Everytime I hear a crime against women in SK, my heart aches because I know justice will not be served
@@v.r.5417 This really is sad. Like, it's not the case were he was in a relationship with someone abusive, wanted to leave and then make sure they won't be stalked. This is a murder in cold blood of someone who's only "crime" is wanting to protect his sister. This makes me think probably South Korea indeed has insane laws.
Unfortunately, this isn't even uncommon around the world. In Finland, even though you can get a life imprisonment, the longest someone has ever been imprisoned is 25 years, and this happened in the 40s. On average, they stay only 18 years in prison.

steph describing cannibal holocaust as a documentary and me just being like "did she get duped by cannibal holocaust?" only for her to be like "yeah, this is fake actually!" and i was so relieved. they did still commit animal cruelty, though. it was awful.
also committed statutory rape
I was thinking at the beginning of her description wow this sounds a lot like cannibal holocaust, thank god it was because omg. The movie is a hard watch because of the animal torture.
Thought I was the only one that was like: is this cannibal holocaust?
Ebola syndrome is another movie with some very questionable scenes. Pretty sure the animals bits weren't fake.
I was going crazy, because my memory of the movie is fuzzy and I kept thinking, but there aren’t cannibals in the Amazon? What is happening right now? Wait, is this Cannibal Holocaust???

Hi Stephanie,
I agree, this guy is not schizophrenic bc he is too organized. He calls his mom from jail to get rid of his computer then tells her not to talk about it when she visits him. And he got like 14 years for killing his brother-in-law. These sentences need to be longer. He even sells these tapes overseas.
did the police get his address book and send it to the other police forces in whichever countries he was sending them
Perhaps, he's a psycho pathological liar 🤔
How can u be so sure that he sells those tabes?
It blows my mind that in S. Korea (and other countries) there is a statute of limitations on crimes that result in death (any degree of murder, manslaughter and others).
Truly, like these murders and torturers are dangerous to the public. “It’s been a while, they may be a changed person.” They weren’t a changed person back then. Who knows if they changed or not. Forget the “they may have changed”, what about the victims who lost their life or survived the ordeal and now live with a traumatic memory. Do they not deserve justice for what happened to them?
There was one guy who molested kids, got caught, went away for 40 something years, got out at 71 and a few months later did it again and iirc killed them. The people that do that stuff just can't be fixed it seems

There should be no statute of limitations on MURDER!! Ever. No matter the country. That is an absolute injustice for these poor children.
For the record; the director of Cannibal Holocaust later came out and apologized for the animal cruelty in his film, and that in retrospect he understood the outrage and discomfort the abuse caused and is ultimately not sure why he had it done or recorded. That doesn’t make what he did okay, but at least he won’t do it again.
Exactly what I was thinking-hmmm, this sounds familiar….
I don’t believe he won’t do it again. I don’t believe a single word that comes out of the mouth of a person capable of such cruelty in the name of money or pleasure.
We need to remember that is a very old movie. The feeling toward animals was completely different and also the freedom of directors for movies around the world was absolute. No one was really concerned about safety at the time. He claim that the reason he did that was to make the scene real and also that he did it with a documentarist spirit. Obviously was not okay then and is not okay now, but he is sincere when he said that he is sorry. The movie, even if is one of the most violent ever made was created with the honourable intent of describing and analysing the madness of contemporary society comparing it with the indigenous one. There is a reason why is still considered one of the best horror and gore movie of all time (and also the most infemous).
Did he ever apologize for filming a r*pe scene with an actual 14 year old?
really wish you hadn’t of put the title on here- now that movie is gonna get more views (yes i’ve seen it)

How can they have statute of limitations for murder. That's ridiculous.
When I told one of my parents about my s.a they said "how come no one remembers it but you" sa predators don't go around making it known in front of other adults that they sa children. This man did these horrible, horrific crimes and he may have not been punished by the hand of man, but he will be punished by the hand of God.
I'm sorry, but your parents are shit for that. Of all people that shouldn't have come from your own family. Not even can you be safe or have trust for those who you expect to protect you. The audacity to dismiss your experience is disgusting, it's not like you told them you saw some imaginary thing or said anything impossible.
I'm sorry, but is that parent mentally challenged? That question alone is absolutely ridiculous
I hate that this is so common, and unfortunately I've gotten the same from my parents too. it's always to save face, whether it's to have a lower crime rate or to make a family look good.

The Statute of limitation thing has always baffled me. Why does it exist, other than to give the perpetrator a chance to be completely free of consequences for their crimes if they can get away with it for a certain period of time. What’s the purpose of such a policy? Why do the lawmakers sympathise with the perpetrators so much that they would rob the victims of justice and dignity???
what does that mean?
@@eye11s Statute of limitation? it means after a specific time the crime can't be punished, it's like an expiration date for the charges.
Same, like, i would be able to understand it under light crimes, like grafitti or something like that, but creating an statute of limitation for crimes like SA, Pdf and murder is INSANE to me.
Because men in power make laws that convenience men like themselves.

But at the same time, you're not. So much passes and changes, but so much of who you were, who you are is so far behind everyone else. I don't think you ever catch up, not really. Though every day comes and you just keep going, you've got no choice.

But it does have that appeal to morbid curiosity with how controversial and violent it is, and it’s a piece of horror movie history and some people like to see how the found footage genre has evolved from the original found footage horror movie.

I’ve been married twice. My first marriage ended when I found his gross online activity. He was a monster for our entire marriage, a life threatening monster to me, but that last bit gave me the final push to escape. My second marriage…I have yet to escape. What I discovered less than a year ago, after 19 years together, is pretty bad, but nothing as bad as this video. However, I’m not certain I’ve found everything yet. I’m being very careful and putting all my energy into acting “normal” so I can keep digging.
It’s probably more common than most people think to be married to an absolute monster and truly know nothing about it. All I’ve ever gotten were gut feelings, which I was raised to ignore, and a few strange hints.
Listen to those gut feelings, Stay safe and stay strong!
you must be in a very scary and risky predicament. stay safe, fr.
You need to escape soon or you might too be six feet. You acting normal is making think something is wrong with you mentally. Get some help lady
you should focus on safety leaving not finding more evidence imo you’re putting yourself at more risk. do you have any family members or friends you can trust? if possible it’s better to not deal with it alone. after you leave safely if you’re still worried about other people being harmed maybe you can hire a private investigator. either way tho I think you should prioritize your own safety right now.
focus on staying safe. I am praying for your safety
My dude, you got me with the Cannibal Holocaust thing, and what kills me is I've seen Cannibal Holocaust, I knew the story about the director being arrested under suspicion of the footage being real, I knew it was all fake, and when you started talking about the story my first thought was 'Oh, did they make the movie about actual events?' Like I honestly can't tell if it's just that I'm that dim or if you have this gift of drawing people in when you start telling a story (or some combination of both), but you got me. Damn.
Okay, but his wife also had the chance to expose his other inhumane acts when he was charged with the stabbing and murder of her brother in court. Why didn't she bring it up then, when the evidence wasn't destroyed? I understand that fear might have been a factor, but he was caught and being charged. Couldn't she have at least confessed to that? And why did she wait five years to speak up, only doing so when questioned by the police? What if the police had never visited her? Would she have carried that burden for the rest of her life? Would she have ever done something then?
Trauma? Kind of like girls who get raped at young age don't report it to the police.
Madness truly
this was what I was thinking, she did say tho that they didn't talk to her a lot but I believe she should of went out of her way to tell the cops, also maybe she was scared because the punishments in south Korea are very little and the guy would probably still be alive when he got out and like he said to her, he would end (yk) her if she told anyone about it
If only she spoke up he would have served more jail time, and now she spoke late but she did it anyway and he's a free man now ...... she had a chance to get him jailed longer if she stayed quiet out of fear why speak later at all?
Most likely because her brother got murdered right in front of her. I assume she was traumatized and it didn't cross her mind until the detective asked her
It genuinely disgusts me that the laws seem to protect these violent criminals instead of the people they’ve caused harm to. Not even revealing his identity to the public even after he’s been jailed twice, one for crimes involving children, it’s insane. He could just be around your child and you’d never know because the government thinks it’s important to reintegrate these type of people into society at the cost of your child’s safety
VHS tapes were still around in 2003. People had moved on to dvds, but most people at that time still had a decades worth of media on VHS and weren't just throwing them out. I was in high school at that time. My family primarily used dvds but our VHS player was still in the living room. I even still used it to record shows because DVR wasn't a thing yet, and TiVO was seen as a luxury that most middle class families didn't bother with.
