1. Pyeongtaek Law Firm | Background of the Case
The client was a landlord who leased out an officetel in Pyeongtaek.
The client explained that, as the leasing business became difficult due to COVID-19, he posted an advertisement seeking tenants on a community platform, and because the defendants said they were operating a private massage shop, he leased the officetel to them.
The client had a prior conviction for providing a building while knowing that it would be used for prostitution, which amounts to an act of arranging prostitution, and had served a term of imprisonment once for it.
After his release, amid economic hardship and the urgency of the COVID-19 situation, he proceeded with the lease to the defendants (the tenants) even while suspecting that it might be a prostitution establishment.
The client was then reported and caught in a crackdown, and he was indicted on the charge of providing land and a building while knowing that it amounted to an act of arranging prostitution.
The client earnestly requested help in avoiding at least a custodial sentence, in order to maintain his existing food-service business and other livelihood and to preserve peace in his family.
The Pyeongtaek attorney thoroughly prepared for trial, gathering relevant evidence and obtaining letters of appeal, in order to actively help the client.
Pyeongtaek Law Firm | Statutes on the Punishment of Arranging Prostitution
The attorney prepared the client's trial in accordance with the following statutes on the punishment of acts such as arranging prostitution.
Act on Punishment of Arrangement of Commercial Sex Acts
1. Arranging, soliciting, inducing, or coercing prostitution
2. Providing a place for prostitution
3. Providing funds, land, or a building while knowing that they are provided for prostitution
The client was indicted and tried under Article 2, subparagraph 3 of the Act on the Punishment of Arrangement of Commercial Sex Acts and Article 19 (1) of the same Act.
Because the client could be sentenced to imprisonment with labor for not more than three years or to a fine not exceeding 30 million won, the attorney provided a defense, including proof of the absence of intent, so that the client could avoid a custodial sentence to the greatest extent possible.
2. Pyeongtaek Law Firm | The Assistance Provided
The attorney closely analyzed the client's situation and explored the following approaches so that the client could avoid a custodial sentence on the charge of arranging prostitution and the like.
Pyeongtaek Attorney | Emphasizing the Client's Situation
After gathering the relevant evidence, the attorney helped the client fully explain the mistake that arose amid the economic hardship and urgent circumstances at the time.
The attorney also focused on proving that, when the client originally entered into the sublease agreement, he did so without properly knowing about the illegal operation.
Pyeongtaek Attorney | Emphasizing That the Client's Acquaintances Were Submitting Pleas
The attorney approached this carefully so that no misunderstanding would arise, working to prove that the client had provided the premises with no knowledge whatsoever by obtaining statements from employees of the food-service restaurant, letters of appeal from them, and letters of appeal from the client's family.
In this way, in seeking leniency for the client, the Pyeongtaek attorney responded actively to obtain favorable conditions in court, taking into account the client's prior conviction and the resulting social stigma, economic hardship, and the like.

With professional help, this became an important turning point that allowed the client to protect his family and livelihood.
