[Ansan Criminal Litigation Attorney Assistance Case] Ansan Criminal Litigation Attorney Secures a Minor Fine for a Stalking Client

In the consultation with the Ansan criminal litigation attorney, the client shared his situation in detail.

The client suffered serious school violence while in high school, and at that time he often relied on a friend who took good care of him.

The client, who continues to feel extreme fear in interpersonal relationships due to the trauma, considered that friend to be his only friend.

For this reason, he kept contacting the friend even after graduating, but the friend did not respond to the client's messages.

Feeling betrayed that the friend had blocked him, the client impulsively sent hundreds of contemptuous messages.

Afterward, the client also went to the church the friend attended and was turned away, and was ultimately subjected to a complaint for stalking by the friend.

In this situation, the client, facing criminal litigation, came to the Ansan office and requested the assistance of an experienced attorney.

Act on Punishment of Crime of Stalking, Article 18 (Crime of Stalking)

① A person who commits the crime of stalking shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine not exceeding 30 million won.

② A person who commits the crime of stalking while carrying or using a deadly weapon or other dangerous object shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than five years or a fine not exceeding 50 million won.

The client, who had been experiencing difficulties in interpersonal relationships, had not realized at all that his conduct constituted a serious crime.

However, the defense argued that, through this incident, the client recognized that he had committed the offense and came to deeply reflect on it.

The defense argued that the client was a first-time offender with not a single prior offense before this case.

The client has already keenly felt how serious a crime his conduct constitutes and deeply regrets it.

The defense also argued that the client firmly resolved never to repeat the offense in this case.

The case above involved a client who requested the assistance of an Ansan criminal litigation attorney after being subjected to a complaint for stalking by a friend.

Stalking conduct means causing the other party anxiety or fear through some act, against the other party's will and without just cause.

A person who commits the crime of stalking may be punished by imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine not exceeding 30 million won.

If, as above, you are facing criminal litigation on a stalking charge, you are welcome to entrust your case to a criminal litigation attorney at the Ansan office at any time.
