Pyeongtaek Law Firm | Client With a Prior Conviction for Arranging Prostitution Avoids a Custodial Sentence

The client was a landlord who leased out an officetel in Pyeongtaek.

The client explained that, as the leasing business became difficult due to COVID-19, he posted an advertisement seeking tenants on a community platform, and because the defendants said they were operating a private massage shop, he leased the officetel to them.

The client had a prior conviction for providing a building while knowing that it would be used for prostitution, which amounts to an act of arranging prostitution, and had served a term of imprisonment once for it.

After his release, amid economic hardship and the urgency of the COVID-19 situation, he proceeded with the lease to the defendants (the tenants) even while suspecting that it might be a prostitution establishment.

The client was then reported and caught in a crackdown, and he was indicted on the charge of providing land and a building while knowing that it amounted to an act of arranging prostitution.

The client earnestly requested help in avoiding at least a custodial sentence, in order to maintain his existing food-service business and other livelihood and to preserve peace in his family.

The Pyeongtaek attorney thoroughly prepared for trial, gathering relevant evidence and obtaining letters of appeal, in order to actively help the client.

The attorney closely analyzed the client's situation and explored the following approaches so that the client could avoid a custodial sentence on the charge of arranging prostitution and the like.

As a result of the attorney's active assistance through the approaches described above, the client avoided a custodial sentence in court and concluded the case with a fine of 8 million won, which helped the client return to his family.

With professional help, this became an important turning point that allowed the client to protect his family and livelihood.

The attorney also helped the client avoid a custodial sentence by providing a legal solution so that the client would no longer be subject to social stigma and legal sanctions.
