In an era of deepening digitalization, cyber sexual violence (CSV) emerges as a global challenge, encompassing a broad spectrum of abuses including sexual harassment, exploitation, and extortion through digital platforms. The infamous Nth Room case in South Korea, where hundreds of women and minors were coerced into producing and sharing sexually exploitative materials online, starkly highlights the extreme and horrifying aspects of CSV. This incident not only galvanized global attention towards the menace of CSV but also prompted a reevaluation of the capability and efficiency of existing legal frameworks across various jurisdictions to combat such crimes.This study employs a comparative legal analysis to scrutinize how different legal systems, including those of the United States, Canada, European countries, and Asian countries like Japan, South Korea, and China, address the issue of CSV. By delving into some pertinent examples, the paper aims to uncover disparities in legal responses, the effectiveness of regulatory measures, and the limitations of these measures in preventing and punishing cyber sexual violence. Key findings underscore the urgent need for international legal standards and highlight the pivotal role of international cooperation and technological solutions in combating CSV. Ultimately, this research proposes a series of recommendations for legal reform, advocating for the development of a more effective legal framework that not only punishes perpetrators but also protects and supports victims, preventing the recurrence of such crimes.
