An American YouTuber who sparked national outrage in South Korea for provocative stunts, including dancing on a statue honoring victims of wartime sexual slavery, was sentenced to six months in prison by a Seoul court on Wednesday.

The Seoul Western District Court found Ramsey Khalid Ismael, a self-proclaimed internet “troll” known online as Johnny Somali, guilty of multiple charges, including obstruction of business and distributing fabricated sexually explicit content.

Prosecutors had sought a three-year term for Ismael, who also faced accusations of harassing staff and visitors at an amusement park, disrupting a convenience store by blasting music and upending noodles onto a table, causing similar scenes on a bus and subway, and distributing non-consensual deepfake videos.




Figured someone before king would arrest a stupid streamer. I'm not familar with the guy.(legit Who?) But size months is likely deserved.

Good. Streamers are a pox on civilized society.

Fantastic. Influencers, streamers, and worst of all - people who film themselves crying, should all go to jail.

meanwhile, back home is the U.S.

you can have a rap sheet a mile long, slit a girls throat on public transport, walk off and mutter “fricking white girl”, and see no real jail time.

They have rigorous rules in their prisons.

He will also have a physical job while in and it looks like they have to work a minimum of 8 hrs a day.

And he doesn’t speak the language.

He isn’t going to have fun.

6 months in a foreign jail is like a few years here, gotta adjust it for suffering inflation

I don’t think any streamer or professional troll should face jail time because I think the best punishment would be to just remove all their societal protections and let street justice run its course

Jail should stream their security footage showing how much of a good time he's having.
