Seocho criminal lawyer, “We must respond in a multifaceted manner to sexual crime cases such as dating violence and distribution of hidden camera footage.”

A teenage man is being investigated by the police for attaching a nude photo of his recently ex-girlfriend in front of her house and threatening her.

According to the legal community, the police have booked Mr. A and are investigating him on charges of violating the Special Act on Sexual Violence.

Mr. A is accused of putting a nude photo of B on the front door of B's ​​house and leaving the photos in mailboxes and delivery boxes after his girlfriend B notified him of their breakup. It is known that Mr. A even called Mr. B's parents to check if they had seen the photo.

Dating violence includes not only physical acts but also non-physical acts of controlling and monitoring a lover. In particular, experts explain that there are sexual types such as forcing sex or refusing to use contraceptives, emotional types such as shaming cycles and threats of suicide and self-harm, and behavioral restrictions and economic violence that prevent people from seeing family or friends. Recently, the damage caused by forced recording of sexual intercourse videos has been increasing.

According to Daeryun Law Firm's criminal lawyer Shim Jae-guk, "In a similar case, a client who was living with a lover asked for help for dating violence that occurred over a period of about five months." He added, "The case was serious, including cell phone surveillance, collar grabs, pushing, assault, kitchen knife threats, sexual abuse, and threats to film and distribute videos. I represented him in a criminal complaint on charges of sexual abuse, assault, verbal abuse, and filming using cameras, and there is a high possibility of a retaliatory approach. “We have filed an application for a restraining order,” he said.

He continued, “Dating violence is becoming a social problem, but it is not easy to prevent damage because many couples still do not recognize it as a crime,” and advised, “If you are a victim of assault or sexual crime due to dating violence, you need to immediately consult with a criminal lawyer with extensive experience in sexual crimes and take legal action.”

He added, "The unfortunate thing is that dating violence does not just happen once, but appears several times over a long period of time. Dating violence cases should no longer be judged piecemeal and uniform. We need to collect evidence of the damage and respond from a variety of civil and criminal aspects, including applications for temporary injunctions, compensation for damages, and charges of violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, etc."
