KIM Jong-un has stepped up his bizarre war on sex by exiling a teenage boy for watching pornography, along with his parents, it has been claimed.

The Hermit State’s portly leader launched his crackdown last year, with one unnamed source telling US-funded website Radio Free Asia the Central Committee of the Korean Workers’ Party was cracking down on immoral sexual deviance in boys and girls at high school.

Now the Supreme leader - who was the subject of widespread rumours about his health last year - appears to have given the order to make an example of one youngster, according to the NK News website.

A source in North in North Pyongan Province said the youngster was watching a pornographic video late at night when his parents were not at home when he was caught during a surprise inspection by a task force created to keep tabs on “deviant” behaviour.

The source said: “The crackdown and punishments are likely to intensify for the time being given that the ‘anti-reactionary thought law’ is still in the early stage of implementation.

“Moreover, Kim Jong-un stated that ‘non-socialism is a malignant tumour that hinders unity’ and declared a ‘more intensive struggle against the non-socialist phenomenon’ at the Second Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers’ Party on February 8.”

The draconian measures were initiated in accordance with Article 29 of the so-called “anti-reactionary thought law”, which call for sentences of five to 15 years of correctional labour for consumption or possession of pornographic videos or books, photos or drawings which “preach superstition”, NK News reported.

Individuals who produce, import or distribute such materials face life sentences in labour camps - and can even be sentenced to death.

Articles 34-38 require fines ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 North Korean Won if a “reactionary thought crime occurs” happens as a result of the irresponsible education of children, as well as the family in question being forced to move to the countryside. "Recently more and more high school boys and girls are engaging in immoral sexual deviance, and the Central Committee of the Korean Workers’ Party has issued a directive calling for strong measures against them.“The reason behind this order is that the local Kimilsungist-Kimjongilist Youth League in Sinuiju inspected high school students, and found that some high school boys and girls hang out with local gangsters, live together, and commit immoral acts such as prostitution. “The immoral sexual behaviour of students, who are influenced by capitalist lifestyles, has become a problem.
