The client was a minor who came to know a woman through a game and began communicating with her through an SNS messenger.

They went further and shared nude photographs of each other.

However, after the client learned that the woman had a boyfriend, their relationship began to deteriorate rapidly.

In the midst of this, the woman suddenly filed a complaint, and because she was also a minor, the client found himself in an unfavorable position.

The Statutes Relevant to the Case, as Explained by a Daejeon Sex Crime Attorney

The client faced charges of violating the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sexual Abuse (production and distribution of sexual exploitation material), that is, a violation of the 🔗Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sexual Abuse.

Mere possession of child sexual exploitation material is subject to criminal punishment, so caution is required.

Because the victims are children and youth, the punishment is severe, and the levels of punishment are as follows.

◎ Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sexual Abuse

▶Article 11 (Production and Distribution of Child or Youth Sexual Exploitation Material, etc.)

① A person who produces, imports, or exports child or youth sexual exploitation material ▶ imprisonment of at least 5 years

2. The Assistance Provided by a Daejeon Sex Crime Attorney

Because the client was a minor, he was in an unfavorable position in that a criminal disposition could leave a criminal record and cause disadvantages in the future.

Taking this situation into account, the attorney formed a task force with attorneys experienced in handling numerous sex crime cases.

The team then reviewed the client's case and gathered sentencing factors that could work in his favor.

The Daejeon Sex Crime Attorney's Argument | Whether the Offense Was Committed

The attorney earnestly requested a decision of no suspicion of crime, presenting the following arguments.

▶ That the client did not possess the child or youth sexual exploitation material with the intent to possess it, but did so by mistake

▶ That the client deleted the photographs immediately upon receiving them from the victim

▶ That the client never coerced the photographs, and that the victim sent them voluntarily

3. The Result of the Daejeon Sex Crime Attorney's Assistance, “Non-Prosecution”
