The Statutes Relevant to the Client's Case as Identified by the Tongyeong Attorney

For child and youth sexual exploitation material, an actual custodial sentence is frequently imposed even for mere possession or viewing.

This is because sexual offenses against minors have a high recidivism rate and are therefore punished more severely.

Article 11 of the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sexual Abuse (Production and Distribution of Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Material)
Production, import, or export	Life imprisonment or imprisonment for a definite term of not less than five years
Sale, rental, distribution, or similar acts for profit	Imprisonment for a definite term of not less than five years
Arrangement while knowing that the material would be produced as child and youth material	Imprisonment for a definite term of not less than three years
Purchase, possession, or viewing	Imprisonment for a definite term of not less than one year
