Jinju Attorney Recommendation Case | A Client Who Received a Jinju Attorney Recommendation Avoids an immediate custodial sentence Despite a Charge of Statutory Rape of a Minor

The client who visited Daeryun on a Jinju attorney recommendation was in a situation in which they had been charged with statutory rape of a minor.

The crime of statutory rape of a minor means that even sexual intercourse with a minor by consent is punished.

Criminal Act, Article 305 (Sexual Intercourse or Indecent Act with Minor)

(2) A person who is 19 years of age or older and commits sexual intercourse or an indecent act with a person who is 13 years of age or older but under 16 years of age shall be governed by Articles 297, 297-2, 298, 301, or 301-2.

A person who rapes another by violence or intimidation shall be punished by imprisonment for a definite term of not less than 3 years.

Article 297-2 (Imitative Rape)

The client who came on a Jinju attorney recommendation had sexual intercourse with the victim by consent on several occasions.

The client and the victim, who met in person after getting to know each other through online chat, went to a motel.

The motel staff checked identification and then showed the victim and the client to a room.

Although the victim presented a forged identification card, she was wearing makeup and mature clothing, so it was a situation in which not only the client but even the motel staff found it difficult to tell whether she was a minor.

The client, too, naturally assumed the victim was an adult and came to have relations with her.

The client who received a Jinju attorney recommendation was a diligent and exemplary young person, to the extent that they are currently working at a large company.

The Daeryun Jinju attorney requested leniency, emphasizing that the client is ordinarily a good and exemplary citizen and has no record of criminal punishment whatsoever.
