1. The Client Who Came for an Ulsan Legal Consultation
The client who requested an Ulsan legal consultation wished for legal help after being accused of 🔗sexually harassing a child, on charges of violating the Child Welfare Act, 🔗obscenity via telecommunication media, and others.
Through Daeryun's Ulsan legal consultation, the client's case was examined in detail.
The client came to know the victim, an elementary school student, through a game.
Afterward, the two exchanged phone numbers and developed into a relationship of exchanging text messages and phone calls.
When the victim confided sexual concerns, the client, curious about the sexual concerns of an elementary school student, ended up repeatedly making harassing remarks.

2. Defense Strategy Presented for the Client Through Ulsan Legal Consultation
Through Ulsan legal consultation, Daeryun presented a defense strategy to protect the client from punishment.
Ulsan Attorney Argues the Matter Did Not Lead to a More Serious Crime
Through Ulsan legal consultation, Daeryun argued that while the client did send sexually harassing remarks and photographs to the victim, the matter did not lead to any more serious crime, such as proposing to meet in person.
In fact, the victim had feelings of affection toward the client and had even been the first to suggest meeting up to spend time together, but the client never actually met with the victim.
Ulsan Attorney Argues Absence of Any Prior Criminal Record
Through Ulsan legal consultation, Daeryun emphasized that the client had been a law-abiding citizen with no prior criminal record whatsoever before this case.
In fact, the client had regularly volunteered at animal shelters for abandoned dogs and had pledged to donate their organs, thereby providing a positive influence on society.
Daeryun's Ulsan attorney requested, on the basis of the client's character, that severe punishment be avoided.
3. Result of Ulsan Legal Consultation Assistance: A Minor Fine
Through Ulsan legal consultation, the client was able to conclude the case with a minor fine.
Under the Child Welfare Act, if sexual harassment is found, criminal punishment may follow, and depending on the gravity of the case, a fine or imprisonment may be imposed.
In particular, if one becomes involved in such a case and those around them come to know of it, they may face social criticism, so it is safest to establish the course of the case and a legal response plan with a specialist attorney.
