American YouTuber Johnny Somali (real name Ramsey Khalid Ismael), who caused various controversies, including kissing a Japanese Japanese Military Sexual Slavery girl statue, was sentenced to prison in the first trial and arrested in court.

On the 15th, the Seoul Western District Court sentenced Johnny Somali to six months in prison and 20 days in prison for violating the Special Act on Obstruction of Business, Violation of the Punishment of Misdemeanor Punishment Act, and Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes.

At the same time, he ordered a five-year employment restriction on children, adolescents, and disabled-related institutions and confiscated two mobile phones used in the crime.

Johnny Somali, who attended the court, told reporters, "I regret the crime and I want to apologize to the Korean people," adding, "I think justice will be realized and I want to change my life in the future and become a better person."

However, the court said, "To obtain YouTube broadcasting profits, we repeatedly committed crimes against a large number of unspecified victims and ignored the domestic law and order by broadcasting the crime in real time," adding, "There is a risk of causing similar crimes."

He also issued an arrest warrant, saying, "As the sentence has been sentenced, there is a fear of running away."

Johnny Somali was put on trial in September 2024 on charges of obstructing work by yelling and prohibiting rides at Lotte World, swearing at convenience stores, and pouring cup noodles on the table.

In particular, he committed misdeeds by kissing the statue of a girl in peace or broadcasting obscene video edits that were synthesized. In addition, he was additionally charged during the trial, playing music on the bus and making a fuss.

Earlier in February, prosecutors asked Johnny Somali for three years in prison and a fine of 150,000 won.
