Cost of a Molestation Attorney | A Client Charged with Forcible Indecent Act Avoided Punishment Through a ‘Suspension of Indictment’
The client, who visited first to consult because of concern about the cost of a molestation attorney, was facing a molestation charge. This is a case in which, after the consultation, a molestation attorney was retained and punishment was avoided through a suspension of indictment.
1. Cost of a Molestation Attorney | How the Case Arose

The client, who wished to proceed with a consultation first after much concern over how to respond to the case while looking into the cost of a molestation attorney, came under investigation on a forcible indecent act charge over a physical contact issue that occurred after a company dinner.
On the day of the incident the client had consumed a considerable amount of alcohol at the company dinner, and afterward an indecent act of touching the body of the person seated next to him against that person's will occurred, which led to a criminal matter.
Because of that act the victim immediately raised the issue, and the case was filed with the investigative authorities as a forcible indecent act charge.
As a result, the client was placed in a situation that could have a serious impact on the retention of his job and his social reputation, and he keenly recognized the need to respond to the case.
Accordingly, he felt the need to retain an attorney but had fallen into concern over the cost of a molestation attorney.
After first proceeding with a consultation with our firm's molestation attorney, the client realized that he could experience a systematic response system at a reasonable cost, and he entrusted the case to the firm.
What Is the Crime of Forcible Indecent Act?
The crime of forcible indecent act is established where a person, through assault or intimidation, commits an act against the will of the other party that causes sexual humiliation.
Under Article 298 of the Criminal Act, a person may be subject to imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine of up to 15 million won.
In particular, recent precedents tend to take into account not only physical force but also situational coercion or psychological pressure.
Accordingly, whether a forcible indecent act is established may vary depending on the specific circumstances and context of the case.
Where the suspect admits the fact of the indecent act, it is difficult to avoid punishment, but a strategic response aimed at mitigation or a suspension of indictment is necessary.

2. Cost of a Molestation Attorney | Content of the Assistance
After the consultation regarding the cost of a molestation attorney, the attorney specializing in molestation cases closely reviewed the client's statement, the circumstances at the time of the incident, and the victim's statement and related materials, organized the facts, and established a response strategy aimed at a disposition of suspension of indictment in providing assistance.
Reaching an Amicable Settlement with the Victim
The attorney specializing in molestation cases judged from the early stage of the case that recovery for the victim was the most important factor.
Based on the client's attitude of remorse and the circumstances of the case, the attorney actively communicated with the victim's side, and as a result drew out an amicable settlement.
In particular, the attorney secured a statement of no wish for punishment together with the payment of a settlement amount, thereby establishing the key basis for receiving leniency at the prosecution stage.
Proving Sincere Remorse and Improvement in Daily Life
The client admitted all of his conduct immediately after the incident and was deeply remorseful, and the attorney specializing in molestation cases systematically prepared materials that could objectively prove this.
By comprehensively submitting a letter of apology, petitions from family and acquaintances, and efforts to improve daily life in order to prevent reoffending, the attorney emphasized that the client's attitude was one of sincere remorse rather than a formality.
In particular, the attorney highlighted both the point that it was an impulsive offense caused by intoxication and the client's subsequent efforts to improve his drinking habits.
Emphasizing First-Offender Status and Social Foundation
The attorney specializing in molestation cases actively argued that the client was a first offender with no criminal record in his life, and that he had faithfully maintained his work life over a long period.
The attorney also emphasized that, as the head of a household supporting his family, the client's social ties were firm, and persuasively conveyed that the likelihood of reoffending was low.
Through this, the attorney emphasized that reintegration into society was more appropriate than criminal punishment and drew out the prosecution's leniency.
