1. The Client Who Requested a Defense Against Prostitution Punishment
The client who requested a defense against prostitution punishment wished to avoid a criminal record, and through the systematic assistance of the sexual offense attorney, received a suspension of indictment and was able to avoid punishment.
Background of the Case
On the day of the incident, the client, in a heavily intoxicated state, visited the establishment to receive a massage.
However, because he was intoxicated, he entered without being able to distinguish whether the establishment was illegal.
Afterward, the client received contact instructing him to undergo a police investigation to the effect that illegal prostitution had taken place at the establishment.
Fearing that he would be subject to prostitution punishment, the client came to the sexual offense attorney and requested assistance with the case.

2. Severity of Prostitution Punishment
Prostitution is subject to the following punishment under the Act on Punishment of Arrangement of Commercial Sex Acts.
| Act on Punishment of Arrangement of Commercial Sex Acts, Article 21, Paragraph 1 | Imprisonment of not more than one year, or a fine of not more than 3 million won, minor imprisonment, or a minor fine |
Main Types of Prostitution
The main types of prostitution are as follows.
▷ Arranging, soliciting, inducing, or coercing prostitution
▷ Providing a place for prostitution
▷ Providing funds, land, or a building while knowing that it is provided for prostitution, among others
Issues in the Case
The main issues in this case are the point that the client entered the establishment in a heavily intoxicated state and therefore lacked intent, and the point that he is a first-time offender who has deeply reflected after the incident and has a clear will to prevent recurrence.
In addition, the client's usual conduct in daily life and the social and occupational disadvantages that could arise from this incident were also considered as important defense factors.
3. Strategy for Defending Against Prostitution Punishment

To defend against prostitution punishment, the sexual offense attorney prepared and carried out the following strategy.
An Attitude of Reflection
The client admitted all of the facts charged in this case and was deeply repentant and reflective about his foolish conduct.
Accordingly, in order to prove that the client was actively making efforts to prevent recurrence, the sexual offense attorney systematically submitted the following materials.
· Certificate of completion of sexual offense recurrence prevention education
A First-Time Offender With No Record of Punishment
The client is a first-time offender who has lived diligently without any prior criminal record to date.
On these grounds, the sexual offense attorney persuasively emphasized that, if the client were to be subject to excessive criminal sanctions as a result of this incident, substantial disadvantages could arise in his social and occupational activities.
Proving Usual Conduct
Out of concern that he might cause harm to his family if he went home after drinking, the client usually used a legitimate massage establishment.
Accordingly, in order to prove this conduct of the client, the sexual offense attorney submitted concrete materials such as card payment records and a confirmation of use records as evidence.
4. Result of Defense Assistance in a Prostitution Punishment Case: ‘Suspension of Indictment’

As a result of the defense assistance in the prostitution punishment case, the client received a suspension of indictment conditioned on completion of an educational program.
