The "Nth room" sexual abuse scandal, the latest in a series of digital sex crime cases over the years, has left the entire nation in shock.

In a number of Telegram chat rooms, the victims, including underage girls, were allegedly forced to perform gruesome, torturous sex acts, such as carving the word ‘slave' into their skin. Some were raped on camera.
