Busan Sex Crimes Attorney Assistance | Assisting a Client Charged With Quasi-Rape in the Appeal to Obtain a Suspended Sentence

The client explained that one day, while drinking with friends, he happened to join a table of women seated next to them.

He explained that, feeling he got along well with one of them, he suggested moving to a separate spot, and that the woman agreed.

He explained that, after moving and talking, he, being intoxicated, went to a motel and had sexual intercourse with the woman.

However, a few days later the client was reported to the police on a charge of quasi-rape, the matter proceeded to indictment, and he was sentenced to imprisonment at the first trial.

Believing the sentence was excessive, the client decided to appeal and came to a Busan sex crimes attorney in order to reduce the punishment.

The act of forcibly having sexual intercourse with a victim through assault or intimidation is commonly called sexual assault, and under the Criminal Act it is classified and punished as 🔗the crime of rape.

The crime of rape encompasses quasi-rape, which is the client's charge, as well as rape, imitative rape, and robbery-rape, each punished according to its type.

The punishment for the crime of rape is prescribed as imprisonment for a definite term of at least three years, so the lightest punishment is three years of imprisonment.

In addition, because the crime of rape carries punishment provisions even for attempts, rather than unconditionally denying the charge, responding actively from the early stages with the assistance of an attorney can be helpful.

Unlike at the original trial, where he had entirely denied the charge, at the appeal the client acknowledged the charge and showed deep remorse for the fact that he had committed the crime.

To demonstrate his remorse, he made efforts such as completing recidivism-prevention education.

The Busan sex crimes attorney argued that the fact that the client did not deny the criminal facts and was deeply remorseful should be taken into account in sentencing.

After the original judgment, the client keenly realized that he had caused the victim irreparable harm, and he made efforts such as paying a sum of money in order to contribute in some way to the victim's recovery.

As a result, the victim reached a settlement with the client.

The Busan sex crimes attorney argued for leniency in consideration of the fact that the client had reached an amicable settlement with the victim.

This was an account of assisting a client who had committed quasi-rape, been criminally reported, and been sentenced to imprisonment at the first trial, obtaining a suspended sentence in the appeal.

As in the client's case, if you are facing a criminal trial for the crime of rape, blindly claiming that you cannot remember or that you never committed the act can instead work against you.

In particular, for the crime of rape, if the victim is a minor, the matter may fall under 🔗the crime of statutory rape of a minor, with heavier punishment, and the sentencing factors are varied, so caution is needed.

For this reason, it is important to review the circumstances of the case specifically and accurately and to prepare a strategic response that may be taken into account favorably in sentencing.

In order to respond appropriately to police and prosecution investigations, receiving the assistance of a sex crimes attorney who has handled many related cases is, above all, important.
