An Incheon Attorney's Assistance Case | A Client Charged With Violation of the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Abuse, Non-Prosecution

The account of the client is as follows.

While using social media, the client came across a post by A stating that A was selling photographs of A's own body.

At first the client took no interest, but gradually became curious and struck up a conversation with A.

The client exchanged sexual conversations with A, a minor, and after sending money, even received photographs of A's body.

Some time later, A's parents discovered this, and so the client's offense came to light.

The client sought an Incheon attorney in order to entrust the case to an attorney who had handled many 🔗Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Abuse cases and to resolve the matter promptly.

The client was booked on a charge of violating the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Abuse for exchanging sexual conversations with the victim, a minor.

Among violations of the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Abuse, the elements of conversation for the purpose of sexual exploitation are as follows.

If the above elements are satisfied, the crime of conversation for the purpose of sexual exploitation is committed, and a heavy punishment may follow.

An act in which a person aged nineteen or older, for the purpose of sexual exploitation, uses an information and communications network to repeatedly engage a child or youth in, or cause participation in, conversations that arouse sexual desire or cause humiliation is an act that violates the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Abuse.

If this charge is established, under Article 15-2 of the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Abuse, the person is subject to imprisonment for up to three years or a fine not exceeding thirty million won.

Because a sex crime against a child or youth carries a very high likelihood of severe punishment in this way, seeking the help of an attorney at the early stages of a case can be helpful.

The client committed the offense in this case as an adult who had not yet developed a fully formed set of sexual values or sound judgment.

The client began the conversation with the victim in this case out of curiosity, and this was an impulsive offense rather than a planned one.

The attorney also emphasized that the conversation did not continue over an extended period.

The client feels a great deal of guilt over the fact that he attempted a sexual conversation with the victim despite knowing that the victim's sexual self-determination, values, and judgment were not yet mature.

The attorney emphasized that the client deeply regrets and feels remorse for having caused significant harm to the victim through this case.

The client and the client's parents are keenly aware that they caused significant harm to the victim, and they applied for criminal mediation in order to remedy, even in part, the harm the victim suffered.

The client succeeded in reaching an amicable settlement with the victim through the criminal mediation process.

The attorney emphasized that the victim expressed the intention not to seek punishment of the client.

Sexual offenses against children and youth are likely to result in severe punishment even for a first-time offender.

Consulting an attorney from the early stages of a case and receiving a concrete resolution strategy can be helpful.
