By Hyung-jin Kim | Associated Press
Importers complained and took their case to courts, most of which agreed with them and ordered customs to release the sex dolls, saying they are used in people’s private spaces and don’t undermine human dignity.

They say they deepen sexual objectification of women and undermine public moral.
