South Korean Shock Streamer Faces Jail Time for Illegal Activities
Ramsey Khalid Ismael, known as “Johnny Somali,” faces potential imprisonment of up to 31 years in South Korea following his October 2024 arrest. His arrest stems from multiple charges, including creating and sharing deepfakes—a sex crime in South Korea—and disrespectful acts at the Statue of Peace, a site commemorating victims of wartime sexual slavery. Each deepfake charge carries a maximum sentence of 10.5 years. This incident follows a pattern of controversial behavior in other countries, where he has faced less severe consequences for his actions.
