This study aims to critically examine the media"s treatment of child sexual violence cases by analyzing newspaper articles and television reports on the recently publicized Kim Giltae case. Coverage of child sexual violence cases in South Korea has increased drastically since 2008. Among these cases, the Kim Giltae case received by far the most media attention. Reports on the Kim Giltae case focused solely on the individual Kim Giltae, almost without any in depth analysis of child sexual violence itself. Measures against child sexual violence were consequently centered on prevention of extreme criminals, which caused efficiency and cost problems. Another problem that excessive media coverage of child sexual violence causes is an increase in fear of sexual violence. This concerns not only children and their parents, but also teenage girls and women. Fear of sexual violence is deeply linked to the formation of a self-oppressive femininity, which requires that one should be passive and behave prudently in order to become a respectable woman. The media coverage and the government reaction regarding the Kim Giltae case shows that child sexual violence cases are not of a neutral and unpolitical nature. How to perceive human rights and factors of social conflicts is closely related to social discussion of such cases; the role of parents, and especially mothers is linked to this change.
