[Gangnam Sexual Offense Specialist Attorney Fine Case] Successful Defense Limiting the Outcome to a Light Fine with the Help of a Gangnam Sexual Offense Specialist Attorney

The case confirmed by the Gangnam sexual offense specialist attorney is as follows.

The client was a student who had completed his military service, and he visited a massage shop. The reason for the visit was to engage in an imitative sexual act through prostitution. The client went further and was caught secretly filming a video of the act on his cell phone, without the victim's consent.

Because it was a sexual violence case involving prostitution and illegal filming, he proceeded with a consultation with a Daeryun sexual offense specialist attorney.

Let us briefly review the statutes related to illegal filming.

■ Punishment for Illegal Filming Using a Camera (Filming, Distribution, Possession, Viewing)

Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, Article 14 (Filming Using a Camera, etc.)

(1) A person who, using a camera or any other mechanical device with a similar function, films the body of another person that may cause sexual desire or shame, against the will of the person filmed, shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 7 years or a fine not exceeding 50 million won.

(2) A person who distributes, sells, leases, provides, or publicly displays or screens the filmed material or its reproduction under paragraph (1), or who, even where the filming under paragraph (1) was not against the will of the person filmed at the time of filming, subsequently distributes, etc. the filmed material or its reproduction against the will of the person filmed, shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 7 years or a fine not exceeding 50 million won.

(3) A person who, for the purpose of profit, commits the crime under paragraph (2) against the will of the person filmed by using an information and communications network under Article 2 (1) 1 of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. shall be punished by imprisonment for a definite term of not less than 3 years.

(4) A person who possesses, purchases, stores, or views the filmed material or its reproduction under paragraph (1) or (2) shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 3 years or a fine not exceeding 30 million won.

(5) Where a person habitually commits any of the crimes under paragraphs (1) through (3), the penalty prescribed for that crime shall be increased by up to one half.

The client acknowledged all of the charges and actively cooperated with the investigation.

While reflecting on his offense, the client voluntarily completed prostitution prevention education and also underwent psychiatric treatment.

The fact that he was a first-time offender with no criminal record, and the client's parents pleaded for leniency.

The fact that the client attempted illegal filming in addition to prostitution is a clear wrongdoing.

The video in question, however, was not properly recorded, and it was subsequently deleted.

The court, which accepted Daeryun Law Firm's arguments, decided on a fine, and held that, considering the client's age and occupation and the degree of disadvantage the client would subsequently suffer, disclosure of his personal information and employment restrictions should not be imposed.

Through the strategy of Daeryun Law Firm's specialized attorney, the client was able to have the outcome limited to a fine.

This is a case in which the outcome for a sexual offense was able to be limited to a fine with the assistance of a Daeryun attorney.
