Busan Sex Crime Attorney | Client Who Received a Suspended Sentence for a Sex Offense Successfully Kept the Suspended Sentence After the Prosecutor Appealed

This is the story of the client who came to a Busan sex crime attorney.

While browsing the internet, the client came to view child sexual exploitation material, and the client, who was usually short of money, came to have an improper idea.

The client posted on social media to the effect that he was selling the sexual exploitation material, and sold a total of 150 pieces of child sexual exploitation material.

When this was discovered, the client was indicted on charges of producing, distributing, and possessing child sexual exploitation material, leading to this case.

The charges against the Busan sex crime attorney's client were producing, distributing, and possessing 🔗child sexual exploitation material, and these charges are subject to the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sexual Abuse, resulting in the following punishment.

Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sexual Abuse Article 11 (Production and Distribution, etc. of Child or Youth Sexual Exploitation Material)

② A person who, for profit, sells, lends, distributes, or provides child or youth sexual exploitation material, or who, for such purpose, possesses, transports, advertises, introduces, or publicly displays or screens it, shall be punished by imprisonment for a definite term of at least 5 years.

⑤ A person who purchases child or youth sexual exploitation material, or who possesses or views it knowing that it is child or youth sexual exploitation material, shall be punished by imprisonment for a definite term of at least 1 year.

The Busan sexual offense attorney defended the client as follows.

The Busan sexual offense attorney's client admitted to all of the charges.

The client, however, had come across child sexual exploitation material by chance and downloaded only some of it, and he did not act for the purpose of selling it.

As his family circumstances grew difficult, he did briefly sell that material, but he repented of his wrongdoing and stopped on his own.

The period during which the client sold the material was only 10 days, and the proceeds were not large, amounting to about 100,000 won.

The client afterward showed remorse for his wrongdoing and completed psychological education for the prevention of sexual offenses, among other measures.

The Busan sexual offense attorney's client came to understand the value of working honestly and earning money.

All the more, he is deeply remorseful for the offense in this case and deeply regrets and repents that he caused secondary harm to the victims.

After hearing the Busan sexual offense attorney's argument, the appellate court issued the following judgment.

The prosecutor's appeal is dismissed.

The client was at risk of having the suspended sentence reversed and receiving a term of imprisonment due to the prosecutor's appeal, but with the assistance of the Busan sexual offense attorney he was able to avoid that risk.
