I'm a victim of workplace harassment. I couldn't endure the workplace abuse and ended up resigning on my own. I worked there for over a year — can I claim unemployment benefits for workplace harassment? I've heard rumors that you can't claim unemployment benefits if you resigned voluntarily... I'd appreciate it if you could explain the requirements and method for claiming unemployment benefits in detail.

Hello. This is the Daeryun Law Firm military criminal specialist attorney.

It seems you are facing punishment on suspicion of violating the Military Secrets Protection Act.

Under the Military Secrets Protection Act, leaking military-related documents, drawings, etc., that are not known to the general public and whose disclosure may pose a risk to national security, can result in punishment.

Although we cannot know what was contained in your notebook, if it contained content classified as military secrets, the charge of violating the Military Secrets Protection Act may be recognized.

According to the Military Secrets Protection Act, a person who handles or has handled military secrets in the course of their duties and leaks such military secrets that they came to know or possess in the course of their duties to others shall be punished with imprisonment of 3 years or more.

You should also be aware that when imposing imprisonment, suspension of qualifications up to the maximum term of the sentence may also be imposed concurrently.

In your situation, the following strategies appear to leave room for sentence reduction.

▶Emphasize that you did not recognize it as military secrets
▶Emphasize that there was no intent to leak military secrets
▶Emphasize that even if the contents of the notebook were leaked, there was no risk of jeopardizing national security
▶Emphasize that you immediately deleted your girlfriend's post and all photos as soon as you received contact from investigators
▶Emphasize that you fully acknowledge the offense and are reflecting on it

Beyond this, it is advantageous to consult with a military criminal specialist attorney about the case and receive a tailored solution.

The specialist attorney will not only prepare a strategy on your behalf, but will also accompany you throughout the investigation procedures to draw out a favorable result.
