Forcible Indecent Act Punishment Defense Case | Client in a Sexual Crime Against a Minor, Non-referral

The client charged with the crime of forcible indecent act was a teacher at a private academy.

On the day of the incident, the client was preparing for class at the academy.

In the course of this, a student who was playing around collided with the client and the client's hand touched the student's body, and the client restrained the student and reprimanded him.

A few days later, the client learned that he had been reported for a sexual offense against a minor.

Facing the risk of criminal punishment on a charge of forcible indecent act, the client came to a sexual molestation attorney to request assistance.

Sexual offenses against minors are punished under the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes and the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sexual Abuse.

▶ Indecent act by compulsion against a minor

▶ Indecent act by compulsion against a minor under 13

Under the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sexual Abuse, if a person subject to a reporting obligation, such as a teacher or a person at a welfare facility or educational facility, commits a sexual crime against a minor, the person is subject to aggravated punishment.

The sex crime attorney emphasized that there was a witness to the case.

At the time of the incident, the attorney learned that, besides the client and the victimized student, there were other students present in the academy.

Through a phone call with the witness to the incident, the attorney was able to gather evidence, and based on this, was able to argue for the client's innocence.

The sex crimes attorney emphasized that there was a possibility that the victim's statement had been distorted.

While reviewing the case, it was learned that the parent had brought the matter into the open through the child's statement.

It could be argued that the victim was a young child under the age of 13, and there was a possibility that the child had simply answered in response to questioning by the parents.

The sex crime attorney emphasized that the client was an instructor who ordinarily cared for children and took pride in his work.

The client had worked in a child-related field for about 10 years and had never been involved in a sex crime against a minor.

On this basis, it was possible to demonstrate that the client was a member of society who had lived diligently.

This was the story of a client who, having come to face a charge of the crime of forcible indecent act, was at risk of not only criminal punishment but also losing his job, yet was able to clear the charge through the assistance of a sexual offense attorney.

As such, sexual offenses against minors are subject not only to severe punishment but also to even more aggravated punishment compared to ordinary indecent acts, so greater caution is needed to avoid becoming involved.
