1. The Client Who Sought a Lawyer for Minor Prostitution Cases

Daeryun minor prostitution attorney prostitution sentence reduction case

The client who came to the minor prostitution attorney, after being sentenced to an actual custodial sentence on a charge of prostitution involving a minor, requested the assistance of a sex crime attorney in order to obtain a reduction of sentence by filing an appeal.

The Client Involved in a Child Sex Crime Charge

The story of the client who requested help from the attorney for prostitution involving a minor is as follows.

The client continued to build a friendship with the victim, whom he had become close to on a chat application, even though he knew that the victim was a minor.

Having developed a sexual impulse toward the victim, the client called the victim to his home, had sexual relations, and handed over cash.

When the victim's parents learned of this, they filed a complaint against the client for a child 🔗prostitution offense, and the client ultimately received an actual custodial sentence at the first instance.

He requested help from a sex crime attorney in order to proceed with the case together with an experienced attorney and to obtain a suspended sentence on appeal.

2. Statutes Relevant to the Case, Explained by a Lawyer for Minor Prostitution Cases

The client suspected of purchasing sex from a minor came to a sex crime attorney, hoping to obtain a reduction of sentence on appeal after receiving an actual custodial sentence.

Let us look in detail at sex crimes against children.

Sentencing for Child Sex Crimes

The client engaged in prostitution with a minor who did not have the capacity for judgment to fully exercise the right of sexual self-determination.

If this charge is established, the client may be punished under Article 13 of the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sexual Abuse.

The act of purchasing the sex of a child or youth ▶ imprisonment for at least 1 year and up to 10 years or a fine of at least 20 million won and up to 50 million won

Also, enticing a child or youth in order to purchase sex, or soliciting a child or youth to sell sex ▶ imprisonment for up to 3 years or a fine of up to 30 million won

In this case, if such a crime is committed against a child or youth under the age of 16, the sentence may be aggravated by up to one half.

As shown, courts impose very strict punishment for sex crimes involving minors, so if you are implicated in this charge, it is advisable to promptly request the help of an experienced attorney.

3. Assistance Provided by the Lawyer for Minor Prostitution Cases

The attorney for sexual offenses involving minors closely reviewed the judgment of the original trial and established a strategy suited to it.

In order to obtain a suspended sentence decision from the court, the following was argued.

Sex Crime Attorney's Assistance ① Arguing Admission of the Offense and Remorse

The client is serving time in prison and is deeply repenting for the wrongdoing.

The client feels guilt that the wrongdoing caused great harm to a young victim.

The attorney emphasized that the client is firmly resolved never to commit the same wrong again.

Sex Crime Attorney's Assistance ② Arguing the Absence of Prior Similar Convictions

The client has a record of criminal punishment such as for violation of the Road Traffic Act, but has no prior conviction of the same type related to this case at all.

The client has the will to receive psychological treatment so as not to reoffend.

The attorney emphasized that the client accurately recognizes his wrongdoing and has the will to improve, so the risk of reoffending is low.

Sex Crime Attorney's Assistance ③ Arguing That a Settlement Was Reached with the Victim

Although the client did not reach a settlement with the 🔗sex crime victim at the first trial, as a result of the sex crime attorney's continuous efforts to find an amicable point of agreement, a settlement was successfully reached.

It was emphasized that the victim then expressed an intent not to wish for punishment of the client.

4. Outcome of the Lawyer's Assistance in a Minor Prostitution Case: Reduction of Sentence on Appeal

The court, which had imposed an actual custodial sentence at first instance, accepted the arguments of the attorney handling the minor prostitution case and imposed a 'suspended sentence' on appeal.

The client, who succeeded in obtaining a reduction of sentence, expressed deep gratitude, saying that he was able to obtain a good result thanks to the sex crime attorney team setting the right direction.

If You Are Involved in a Child Sex Crime Case

The above case was one in which the client, who had received an actual custodial sentence in a case of prostitution involving a minor, succeeded in obtaining a reduction of sentence on appeal with the assistance of a 🔗sex crime attorney.
