남친 뺏고 “애 지워” 강요한 여성…전문가 “형사상 강요에 해당할 수 있어”

A woman's story was told that she was asked to terminate her pregnancy by a woman who had an affair with her boyfriend and was subjected to verbal abuse. The expert pointed out, “This could amount to criminal coercion.”
 
The day before, on the 2nd, KBS joy's 'Ask Me Anything' featured the story of A, a woman suffering from depression due to abortion and her boyfriend's affair.
 
Ms. A started dating her boyfriend at the chicken restaurant where she worked part-time in 2016.
 
She had been dating her boyfriend for six years, breaking up and getting back together, but they eventually became close enough to end up living together. After living together, she became pregnant and had two children.
 
However, the boyfriend was seeing another woman, B, without A's knowledge. He continued to date in secret, hiding the fact that he was dating Mr. A from the other woman.
 
But is there a way to get caught if the tail is long? Person A later found out that her boyfriend was cheating on her and demanded that she end the relationship with Person B.
 
Accordingly, the boyfriend borrowed money from Mr. B and postponed ending the relationship, asking him to wait until he repaid the money.
 
The boyfriend did not break up with person B even though person A was pregnant. Rather, it is reported that Mr. B sent text messages to her boyfriend, saying, “Tell your girlfriend to have an abortion surgery,” and “Wouldn’t it be okay if I get pregnant too?”
 
Ms. A eventually underwent abortion surgery. Mr. A then claimed that Mr. B left messages on his SNS (social media) such as “You are XX” and “Your baby is crying in heaven. I am so happy that your baby is dead.”
 
Person A complained of damage, saying, “I am currently getting along well with my boyfriend, but I was diagnosed with depression because of that incident,” and “I want to escape the hurt.”
 
Regarding this story, on the 3rd, lawyer Kwak Ji-yeon of Daeryun Law Firm advised, “If there was content in the verbal abuse that could be considered a threat, it could be considered criminal coercion, and you can also claim compensation for the illegal act.”
 
At the same time, he added, “If social media (SNS) is open to an unspecified number of people, a violation of the Internet Act (defamation) is naturally established,” and “it appears that a claim for compensation will be possible.”
