Busan Law Office | Client Cleared of an Indecent Act Charge Through the Busan Attorney Office

For indecent acts occurring on public transportation, in saunas, or at performance venues, the crime of molestation in a crowded place under the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (Article 11) applies.

This may be regarded as a special provision relative to the crime of forcible indecent act prescribed in the Criminal Act, and the penalty is imprisonment for not more than 3 years or a fine not exceeding 30 million won.

In addition, the crime of molestation in a crowded place is not a crime requiring a complaint to prosecute, so the offender may be punished even without a complaint from the victim.

This is an offense that is established merely by molesting a person in a crowded place, and it differs from the ordinary crime of forcible indecent act.

The Busan attorney expressed deep regret that the client had caused harm to the victim through a momentary mistake, and pleaded for leniency on the ground that a settlement had been reached with the victim.

The victim also accepted the client's remorse and indicated that she did not wish for the client to be punished, and accordingly a settlement agreement and a statement of no wish for punishment were submitted, strongly urging leniency.

The Busan law office submitted petitions from the client's family and coworkers expressing that they did not wish for the client to be punished, and requested leniency.

The client's wife submitted a petition requesting leniency for the sake of their children's future, on the ground that the client was a diligent head of household who, as the father of two children, helped his wife and managed work and family well.

The client's coworkers also stated that the client had consistently set an example for others by actively cooperating with colleagues at work through his diligent attitude and warm character.

They requested leniency, noting that he was a diligent colleague who carried out his work steadily even in a difficult work environment, to the extent that he had received several company merit awards, and asked that this be taken into account so that he could again contribute to society as a public official.

Upon hearing that a criminal complaint had been filed, the client calmly and promptly made a consultation reservation and sought the assistance of a sex crimes specialist attorney. With the help of an attorney experienced in handling sexual molestation cases, the client concluded the matter with a suspension of indictment disposition, which defers prosecution, leaving no criminal record.
