This is the account of a client who sought an attorney's assistance after being charged with an indecent act by compulsion. The client was in jeopardy on a charge of committing an indecent act by compulsion, and the attorney obtained a small fine.

1. The Client's Situation

This is the account of a client who sought an attorney's assistance after being charged with an indecent act by compulsion.

The client was working in a sales position at a company, and on the day of the incident he explained that he had been drinking with a colleague.

The client had been drinking through a second round with his colleagues when he learned that executives from a business partner he had previously known were at a nearby bar, so he headed to that bar.

Having already drunk beyond his usual capacity through the second round, the client had fallen into a blackout state.

Even so, driven by a compulsion to make a good impression on the business partner's executives, he behaved in a familiar manner.

Among the executives there was a female employee whom the client was seeing for the first time. He behaved in a familiar manner toward her as well.

After leaving the bar, he proposed having more drinks and linked arms with the executives. He also linked arms with the female employee and put his arm around her shoulder, suggesting they have more drinks.

The female employee, however, felt that the client's conduct amounted to an indecent act by compulsion and reported him, which led to this case.

As a result, the client was placed in jeopardy of severe punishment on the charge of an indecent act by compulsion.
