A Possession of Sexual Exploitation Material Example | Suspended Sentence for a Client Who Possessed Hundreds of Items of Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Material

Through a file-sharing program, the client downloaded video material constituting sexual exploitation material in which the body parts of a female minor were filmed and stored it in a folder on the client's computer.

While the client continued to view and keep the sexual exploitation material on several occasions thereafter, the police obtained a seizure warrant and seized the client's hard disk.

The client is now facing a police investigation in connection with the case and came to a criminal defense attorney to request assistance with the possession of sexual exploitation material case in order to prepare a response to avoid an actual custodial sentence.

The criminal defense attorney emphasized that the client acknowledged the offense of possessing sexual exploitation material and was deeply remorseful.

Rather than merely expressing an intention to reflect, the criminal defense attorney personally guided the direction of the written statement of remorse so that the sincerity of the remorse would be apparent, and went through the process of revising it several times.

The criminal defense attorney gathered materials from various angles to establish that the client was a first-time offender with no record of any criminal punishment and had been a diligent member of society throughout his life.

In addition, the attorney persuaded the client's family to write letters of appeal so that the client's ordinarily diligent character and sense of responsibility within the family could be made apparent.

The criminal defense attorney highlighted that, after the incident, the client was making active efforts to correct his mistaken attitudes toward sex and to prevent reoffending.

In particular, the attorney encouraged the client to voluntarily attend sexual offense prevention education, directly assisted in coordinating the schedule with the educational institution, and secured the certificate of completion and submitted it to the investigative agency.

Furthermore, by guiding the client to complete an awareness-improvement program in connection with a psychological counseling center, the attorney established that there were efforts toward genuine change rather than mere remorse.

If you are facing an investigation on suspicion of possession of sexual exploitation material, it is first important to acknowledge your conduct and to show an attitude of sincere remorse.

To prevent the spread of harm, it is necessary to immediately delete the illegal videos, to cooperate sincerely with the investigative agency, and to disclose the facts transparently.

In addition, if you are a first-time offender or your involvement was limited to simple possession, you can increase the possibility of being granted leniency through substantive efforts toward recovery of the harm, such as submitting a written statement of remorse and making a deposit with an official depository.
