1. The Client Who Requested the Incheon Law Office
The client of the Incheon law office had a sexual encounter with women while drinking at a friend’s home, and because the friend filmed a video at the time, the client was jointly subjected to a criminal accusation.
The client, however, was not even aware that the friend was recording a video, and learned of this only after being subjected to the complaint, which left the client bewildered. The client visited the Incheon office seeking to prove this and to obtain assistance.
The Incheon Law Office Client's Account
The client had a drinking gathering at a friend's house with acquaintances he was meeting for the first time.
During that gathering, he had sexual relations with a woman who was there, and it later turned out that his friend had filmed the situation with a mobile phone.
The client says he was entirely unaware of this at the time and had never engaged in any such conspiracy.
However, when the victim in this case, the other party, filed a criminal complaint against the friend, she also filed a complaint against the client.
The client therefore decided to undergo digital forensics to clear himself, and he sought help from an Incheon attorney to obtain assistance and to prevent a legal dispute.
2. Case-Related Knowledge Explained by the Incheon Law Office
Mobile phone forensics, requested by the client, along with 🔗digital forensics, is an area that is emerging as an important method of collecting evidence in modern legal disputes.
Digital forensics refers to the digital version of ‘forensics,’ which collects and analyzes evidence such as blood, DNA, and fingerprints when an incident occurs and uses it legally.
As the place of the internet environment, including smartphones, in daily life has steadily grown, and as it has begun to be used in crime, digital forensics has established itself as an important method of examining evidence.
Through digital forensics, deleted data on digital devices such as mobile phones, as well as message contents, voice records, call logs, KakaoTalk conversations, and internet access records, may be analyzed and used as evidence.
As in the client's case, if someone is suspected of a crime, digital forensics can play an even more important role in securing clear evidence and establishing legal measures accordingly.
The Digital Forensics Procedure
Digital forensics is broadly divided into collection > analysis > review and proceeds in three stages.
The digital device is received, and its records and data are extracted, while during this process the digital device is maintained in its original state
The files generated in the collection stage are refined through forensic software so that they can be recognized by a person and analyzed so that causal relationships can be identified
The analysis results are documented in the form of a report and organized so that the legality and legal effect of the evidence collection can be assured
What is important is that recovering hidden files or deleted data does not by itself mean that everything can be recognized as legal evidence, and procedures and analysis suited to the situation must be carried out together.
For this reason, when conducting digital forensics, it is advisable to seek advice and assistance from an expert, considering a report suited to the situation as well as future legal measures.
3. Areas of Client Assistance by the Incheon Law Office
After identifying the circumstances of the client's case in detail, the attorney at the Incheon law office conducted digital forensics to examine whether the client had been aware of the video recording that became an issue.
Incheon Lawyer's Analysis ① Data Extraction
The Incheon attorney extracted the client's phone messages, KakaoTalk conversation records, and other materials, then selected and classified the portions relevant to the case.
Through this, data was secured that could confirm whether the client had been aware of the situation at the time of the incident, as well as before and after it.
Incheon Lawyer's Analysis ② Review of Audio and Images
The Incheon attorney subsequently reviewed not only message and other conversation records but also voice recordings and images remaining on the client's mobile phone in a comprehensive manner.
Through this, various data were extracted and selected so that a comprehensive understanding could be gained of how the client perceived the incident at the time.
Incheon Lawyer's Analysis ③ Legal Review
Based on the materials secured through digital forensics, the Incheon attorney developed the arguments the client could raise in any future dispute and explained these to the client in detail.
Through this, the attorney also carried out the legal preparation that needed to follow the digital forensics work, preparing in advance for the client's litigation.
4. Outcome of the Incheon Law Office's Assistance
The client, who received the assistance of the Incheon law office, was able to secure material that could establish his innocence through the digital forensics work, and to prepare a corresponding defense as well.
If You Need Verification Through Digital Forensics
If, like the client, you are suspected of a sex crime, digital forensics can secure the necessary evidence and allow the case to be understood accurately.
As noted earlier, however, caution is needed because whether the evidence secured through digital forensics involved any illegality during the investigation process is also very important.
