1. How the Client Came to the Chuncheon Criminal Attorney
The client who came to the Chuncheon criminal attorney filmed the body of a woman whom the client had met in a hobby club and was charged after distributing the footage and using it to make threats. The client, who had a prior conviction for the same type of offense, came to the Chuncheon criminal attorney in this unfavorable situation in order to reduce the punishment.
An Overview of the Case as Told by the Chuncheon Criminal Attorney
The case of the client who had a consultation with the Chuncheon criminal attorney was as follows.
The client had been in an inappropriate relationship with a woman who had a family.
The client had filmed and kept a video of sexual relations with that woman without her consent.
When the woman announced that she was ending the relationship, the angered client used the filmed material to threaten the woman and also sent photographs to the woman's spouse.
In addition, when the woman avoided the client's contact, the client went to her home, knocked on the front door, and rang the doorbell, thereby intruding upon the victim's residence.
Facing multiple charges, including a Violation of the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes and intrusion upon habitation, the client came to the Chuncheon criminal attorney at Daeryun Law Firm in order to reduce the punishment.
