Pohang Sex Crime Attorney | Client Charged With Threats Using Filmed Material Keeps Suspended Sentence Despite Prosecution's Appeal

This is the account of a client who sought assistance from the attorney.

The client had a girlfriend with whom he had been in a relationship for two years. Like any couple, they would meet about once a week to have a meal, go on dates, and have sexual intercourse.

On the day of the incident, after spending the night together and waking up first, the client looked at his girlfriend and, finding her so beautiful, suddenly felt the urge to take a photograph of her.

Thinking he could obtain her consent afterward, he took the photograph. Later, when his girlfriend woke up and they began talking, he forgot the fact that he needed to obtain her consent.

A few months passed, and during an argument over a difference in personalities, his girlfriend stated that she would block his number.

Angered at the thought of being blocked without a proper conversation, the client, in the heat of the moment, recalled the photograph he had taken at that time and sent it, saying that he would distribute the photograph.

In reality, however, his girlfriend had not blocked the client, and she saw that message.

As a result, his girlfriend reported the client for threats using filmed material and illegal filming using a camera under the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, which led to this case.

The client was reported by his girlfriend for threats using filmed material under the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes and for 🔗illegal filming using a camera.

Threats using filmed material refers to a sex crime committed when a person threatens another using filmed material that may cause sexual desire or shame.

Illegal filming using a camera refers to an offense committed when a person uses a camera or similar device to film the body of another that may cause sexual desire or shame, without the consent of the person filmed or against that person's will.

The Pohang sex crime attorney mounted a defense for the client, emphasizing the following points.

The court, having reviewed the submissions of the Pohang sex crime attorney, sentenced the client to a suspended sentence. The prosecution appealed, claiming that the sentence was unjustly lenient.

However, after the Pohang sex crime attorney once again mounted a defense for the client, the result was a judgment that dismissed the prosecution's appeal and maintained the judgment of the first instance.

The client in this case faced the risk of imprisonment with labor for a definite term of not less than 1 year, with no upper limit on the sentence, but thanks to having promptly sought the assistance of the Pohang sex crime attorney, he was able to escape that risk.

If you are in a situation where you face the risk of punishment on charges similar to those of the client in this case, please obtain a 🔗referral to an attorney for a sex crime case and request a consultation.
