1. The Client Who Sought Assistance With a Prostitution Offense
The client, who became involved in a prostitution offense and sought assistance, was facing a charge of arranging prostitution.
The client had been indicted for the overall operation of a prostitution establishment, including booking customers and managing the women providing sexual services.
The client wished only to avoid an actual custodial sentence for the prostitution offense.
Through a thorough consultation with the client, Daeryun identified the facts of the case and set about gathering materials that could be used to request leniency in sentencing.
What Is a Prostitution Offense? Understanding the Level of Punishment
🔗A prostitution offense means engaging in sexual intercourse or a similar sexual act with an unspecified person in exchange for, or upon a promise to exchange, money, valuables, or other pecuniary benefits.
A person who engages in prostitution may be punished by imprisonment for not more than one year or by a fine, detention, or minor fine of not more than 3 million won.
Under the Act on Punishment of Arrangement of Commercial Sex Acts, a person who arranges or engages in related conduct, a person who recruits another to sell sex, or a person who introduces or arranges employment so that another sells sex may be punished by imprisonment for not more than three years or by a fine of not more than 30 million won.
A person who arranges prostitution or engages in related conduct as a business, a person who recruits another to sell sex and receives payment for it, or a person who introduces or arranges employment so that another sells sex and receives payment for it may be punished by imprisonment for not more than seven years or by a fine of not more than 70 million won.
2. Defense Provided for the Client Charged With a Prostitution Offense
The attorney devised a defense strategy for the client charged with a prostitution offense.
Prostitution Offense Defense 1. Arguing That the Client Was a Mere Employee
The attorney handling the prostitution offense defense argued that the client was merely an employee who received only a per-call referral fee.
The client was an employee of the co-defendant who coordinated schedules through SNS.
The attorney argued that the client, thinking it was an easy way to earn money, had carelessly become involved in the offense, and requested leniency.
Prostitution Offense Defense 2. Argument Regarding the Proceeds
The attorney handling the prostitution offense defense argued that a great deal of time had passed since the conduct in this case.
Given the nature of a prostitution offense, all of the proceeds were handled in cash, and the client did not separately record his own earnings, so he cannot estimate the precise amount of his proceeds.
The client's attorney argued that the client acknowledges and is remorseful for all of the proceeds he actually received, but that treating amounts he did not actually earn as proceeds works to his disadvantage.
Prostitution Offense Defense 3. Argument of Deep Remorse
The attorney argued that the client was working diligently in day-labor and other jobs, and requested a punishment that took into account that he was a young person at the start of his career with a promising future.
The client had no prior record of any kind before this offense, including any record for the same type of offense.
The attorney emphasized that the client, in facing this criminal trial, had resolved never to commit a crime again and had committed himself to a lifetime of atonement.
3. Client Charged With a Prostitution Offense Successfully Obtains a Suspended Sentence
With the assistance of an attorney experienced in prostitution offenses, the client received a suspended sentence and successfully avoided an actual custodial sentence.
Arranging prostitution is subject to criminal punishment regardless of the method involved, and advertising an establishment is also punishable, so if you become caught up in such a charge, it is recommended to prepare a legal response from the early stage.
