I want to file a sexual harassment complaint, but I'm worried the perpetrator will retaliate.

As you mentioned, if a school senior repeatedly engaged in physical contact or sexual remarks, it may constitute the offense of indecent assault under Article 298 of the Criminal Act.

That is, in cases where another person's body is indecently assaulted by means of violence or threat, if the victim explicitly refused or the displeasure was clear, sexual harassment complaint is sufficiently possible.

If the other party's charges are recognized, they will be punished with imprisonment of up to 10 years or a fine of up to 15 million won.

However, since there is a possibility that the perpetrator may attempt retaliation after filing the sexual harassment complaint, you must definitely consider personal protection measures together.

If the victim requests, the police may take the following protection measures under the Crime Victim Protection Act.

① Personal protection measures

② Pseudonymous protocol

③ Victim protection facility

④ Temporary safe shelter

⑤ Relocation expenses (actual moving costs)

⑥ Smartwatch (location tracking device)

However, in reality, since police measures must go through administrative procedures, in situations requiring immediate physical protection, it is desirable to also use professional security services to ensure the victim's personal safety.

Especially when there is a high possibility of encountering the perpetrator due to school relationships, etc., or when retaliatory threats from the perpetrator are anticipated, it is good to entrust the case to a law firm that also provides professional security services and request criminal complaint representation.
