① A person who has engaged in prostitution shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than one year, by a fine of not more than 3 million won, by detention, or by a minor fine.

The Wonju sexual offense attorney set out to assist in order to prevent the client from being punished.

After hearing the assistance presented by the Wonju sexual offense attorney, the prosecutor issued the client a disposition of suspension of indictment.
