1. The Client Who Sought Out a Jeonju Attorney
The client became involved in a suspected violation of the Telecommunications Business Act and sought a consultation with the attorney to review the possibility of punishment and to resolve the matter promptly.
The Client Involved in a Suspected Violation of the Telecommunications Business Act
The account of the client who sought the attorney's help is as follows.
The client grew increasingly close to A, a prepaid SIM card dealer whom the client had come to know through social media.
Then one day, A asked the client to activate a budget mobile phone.
The client declined this request at first, but when A kept asking, the client decided to grant it.
Accordingly, the client activated a total of five prepaid SIM cards and provided them to A, and the client was ultimately booked on suspicion of violating the Telecommunications Business Act.
The client retained the attorney for the case and sought the Jeonju attorney's help to successfully mount a defense against this charge.
2. Violation of the Telecommunications Business Act, Explained by a Jeonju Attorney
The client became involved in a suspected violation of the Telecommunications Business Act and sought the Jeonju attorney's help.
Let us take a closer look at violation of the Telecommunications Business Act.
What Is the Sentence for Violation of the Telecommunications Business Act?
▶ Transferring an activated mobile phone to another person for their use
▶ Receiving and using a mobile phone activated under another person's name
▶ Activating and using a mobile phone under another person's name
▶ Distributing and selling a SIM card registered under another person's name
All of these acts constitute a violation of the Telecommunications Business Act.
Because they involve using or distributing illegal communication services, they may result in serious punishment.
If a violation of the Telecommunications Business Act is found, the person may be punished under the following provisions.
No person shall use the telecommunications services provided by a telecommunications business operator to broker another person's communications or provide such services for another person's communications.
If a person violates Article 30 of the Telecommunications Business Act, the person may be punished under Article 97 of the same Act by imprisonment for not more than one year or a fine of not more than 50 million won.
3. The Jeonju Attorney's Systematic Response Strategy
The Jeonju attorney carefully reviewed the circumstances of the case and established a strategy suited to it.
The attorney made the following arguments and earnestly appealed for leniency for the client.
Assistance Item ① Arguing That the Client Has an Intellectual Disability
The client has a severe intellectual disability.
At the time the incident occurred, the client, who was in a state of mental incapacity, engaged in such conduct.
The attorney emphasized that the client committed the offense without properly understanding what effect the conduct would have.
Assistance Item ② Arguing That No Profit Was Gained from the Offense
The client gained no economic benefit at all from activating the prepaid SIM cards.
The client received no monetary compensation in return for providing the SIM cards to the other party.
The attorney emphasized that, on the contrary, the client was suffering a disadvantage from being involved in this offense.
Assistance Item ③ Arguing That the Risk of Reoffending Is Low
The client is a first-time offender with no record of the same or any other type of offense.
The attorney emphasized that the client has promised not to reoffend and that the client's family is also committed to guiding the client, so the risk of reoffending is low.
4. Result of the Jeonju Attorney's Assistance: Suspension of Sentencing
Accepting the Jeonju attorney's arguments, the court ultimately issued a decision of 'suspension of sentencing'.
The client, who successfully defended against punishment for the violation of the Telecommunications Business Act, expressed deep gratitude to the Jeonju attorney.
