Act on Punishment of Crime of Stalking, Article 18 (🔗Stalking)

(1) A person who commits the crime of stalking shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than three years or by a fine not exceeding 30 million won.

Under the Criminal Act and the Act on Punishment of Crime of Stalking, the client at Daeryun's Yongsan attorney office could be subject to imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine not exceeding 30 million won.

The client at Daeryun's Yongsan attorney office first met A through a random chat app, and began dating just one month after getting to know her.

A had complicated relationships with other women, and the client, upon learning of this, became angry, but at A's persuasion, he continued to see her.

On the day the client at Daeryun's Yongsan attorney office first intruded into A's residence, he had had a meal with A up until that morning.

After parting following the meal, he went to her home out of fear that A might meet yet another woman. However, A did not open the door, and he was arrested in the act by the police who were dispatched.

Thereafter, the client did not contact A at all, but A first reached out, saying they should talk, and persuaded him, saying she wanted to meet.

Won over by the persuasion, the client went with A to the client's home, but while they were eating at home, A suddenly said she had to go and left, and the client states that he no longer wished to continue the relationship, fearing in this way that A would meet another woman.

Accordingly, the client made the mistaken judgment that if he continued to call and visit her home, A would no longer ask him to maintain the relationship, and so he went to A's residence, knocked on the door, and rang the doorbell.

The client at Daeryun's Yongsan attorney office deeply regrets having been unable to control his emotions and having repeated this offense.

The client had been unable to give up hope for the relationship because A had been the one to persuade him to meet, but through this incident the client wished to break off the wrongful relationship and blocked all of A's contact information.

A, the victim in the case of the client at Daeryun's Yongsan attorney office, expressed during the investigation her wish not to have the client punished, stating that she intended to end her relationship with the client.
