Ansan Criminal Attorney | A Client Accused of Stalking Who Received a Non-Prosecution Decision With the Assistance of an Ansan Attorney

This is the account of the client who sought an Ansan criminal attorney.

The client explained that he had been accused of stalking and that, after a police investigation, the case had been referred to the prosecutors' office. The client requested assistance, saying that his conduct did not appear to amount to stalking.

The details of the client's case as grasped by the Ansan criminal attorney were as follows.

The complainant in the client's case accused him of stalking, alleging that the client sent text messages at all hours and repeatedly sent messages that caused anxiety.

However, the client explained that he had merely sent messages to protest after learning that the complainant had spoken disparagingly of him to his acquaintances.

The client pleaded that it was unfair, asking whether protesting after being insulted also amounted to stalking.

The Ansan criminal attorney's client was charged with stalking. Under the 🔗Act on Punishment of Crime of Stalking, stalking is defined as conduct that causes another person fear and anxiety against that person's will.

Causing objects, writings, or images to reach another person through an information and communications network so as to cause fear and anxiety, or approaching or watching another person without justifiable reason, is included among acts of stalking.

A single act of stalking does not result in punishment. If a stalking act is carried out continuously and repeatedly, it amounts to the crime of stalking and is punishable.

The Ansan criminal attorney set out to defend against indictment in order to conclude the client's case at the prosecution stage.

After hearing the Ansan criminal attorney's submissions, the prosecution issued a non-prosecution decision for the client.

This result was achieved because it was established that the offense of stalking did not apply to the client.

If, like the client in this case, you are unfairly suspected of a charge, you should respond immediately and establish that there is no basis for the charge.

As this can be difficult to do on your own, please seek the assistance of an 🔗Ansan attorney at any time.
