Is even a mere fine a ground for disciplinary action or dismissal of a public official?

I will explain in detail the grounds for disciplinary action and dismissal of public officials.

Under the State Public Officials Act, the following circumstances are stipulated as grounds for automatic dismissal of a public official.

① A person under adult guardianship, or a person who has been declared bankrupt and has not been reinstated

② A person who has been sentenced to imprisonment without labor or a heavier actual sentence, where fewer than 5 years have passed since the completion of its execution

③ A person who has been given a suspended sentence for a crime punishable by imprisonment without labor or more, where fewer than 2 years have passed since the end of the suspension period

④ A person who has been granted a suspension of sentencing for a crime punishable by imprisonment without labor or more and is still within the suspension period

⑤ A person whose qualifications have been forfeited or suspended by a court judgment or under other statutes

⑥ A person who has been sentenced to a fine of 1 million won or more for a sexual offense

It appears that you have been booked on charges of indecent act by compulsion.

A person who commits an indecent act by compulsion against another through violence or intimidation is subject to imprisonment with labor for up to 10 years or a fine of up to 15 million won, and an attempt is also punishable.

A public official involved in a sexual offense case may face serious consequences for their duties and status.

In particular, because sexual offenses can draw considerable social criticism, it is important to respond promptly through legal means in order to work toward a favorable outcome.

To retain your position as a public official, please note that it is advisable to seek a solution promptly by engaging in a careful consultation with an attorney who has a deep understanding of sexual offense and disciplinary cases involving public officials.
