Controversial US live-streamer Johnny Somali, whose real name is Ramsey Khalid Ismael, is expected to be sentenced by a South Korean court on 16 May after months of delays in a trial involving child sexual harassment charges.
The 24-year-old, originally from Phoenix, Arizona, was first arrested in November 2023 after a video of him kissing a statue commemorating wartime sexual violence victims in Seoul's Changdong History and Culture Park went viral, sparking widespread public outrage. His disruptive actions, which included livestreaming the incident, were widely condemned across South Korea and beyond.
