1. The Client Who Reached Out to the Uijeongbu Law Firm
The client visited the Uijeongbu office and requested help, seeking to successfully defend against punishment for violating the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Abuse through systematic legal services.
How the Client Came to the Uijeongbu Law Firm
This is the account of the client who requested help from the Uijeongbu law firm.
The client contacted the victim after seeing a post about arranged sexual encounters that the victim had posted on social media.
Although the client was aware that the victim was a child or youth, the client met the victim, paid 50,000 won, and agreed to engage in a quasi-sexual act.
The client met the victim and, while moving in a vehicle that the client was driving, was stopped on the same day by a police officer dispatched in response to a report from the victim's parents.
The client faced the risk of severe punishment for luring a child or youth victim and soliciting the victim to sell sex in order to purchase the sex of the child or youth.
Through the assistance of an attorney, the client sought to reduce the sentence for violating the 🔗Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Abuse and reached out to the Uijeongbu law firm.
2. Laws Related to the Case Explained by the Uijeongbu Law Firm
The Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Abuse was enacted to protect children and youth from sex crimes, and a violation of it may result in severe punishment.
This is because the court considers sexual exploitation or abuse targeting children and youth to cause great social harm.
A person who solicits the purchase or sale of the sex of a child or youth is punished under the following provisions.
① A person who purchases the sex of a child or youth shall be punished by imprisonment for no less than one year and no more than ten years, or by a fine of no less than 20 million won and no more than 50 million won.
② A person who lures a child or youth or solicits a child or youth to sell sex in order to purchase the sex of the child or youth shall be punished by imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of up to 30 million won.
③ If the offense under paragraph (1) or (2) is committed against a child or youth under 16 years of age or a child or youth with a disability, the punishment prescribed for that offense shall be aggravated by up to one half.

3. The Uijeongbu Law Firm's Assistance
The Uijeongbu law firm analyzed the circumstances of the case in detail in order to reduce the client's sentence as much as possible.
The firm argued the following points and appealed for leniency for the client.
The Uijeongbu Law Firm's Argument ① Deep Remorse
The client failed to restrain a moment of curiosity and impulse and attempted to purchase the sex of a minor.
The firm emphasized that the client deeply regretted having committed an offense that could cause a social controversy and that the client wrote a letter of apology.
The Uijeongbu Law Firm's Argument ② Low Risk of Reoffending
The client is deeply ashamed and remorseful about having committed a serious offense against a child or youth.
Through this case, the client came to clearly recognize the unlawfulness of minor prostitution.
The firm emphasized that the client is a first-time offender, is voluntarily attending education to prevent reoffending, and therefore has a low risk of reoffending.
The Uijeongbu Law Firm's Argument ③ Economic Circumstances
The client, who is new to the workforce, is not in a financially comfortable situation.
The firm emphasized that if the client received an actual custodial sentence, his livelihood could be seriously threatened, including being dismissed from the job he had worked hard to obtain.
4. The Court's Decision on the Uijeongbu Law Firm's Argument
The court, accepting the Uijeongbu law firm's argument, imposed a relatively light fine on the client.
The client expressed deep gratitude to the Uijeongbu law firm.
