Uijeongbu Law Firm Assistance Case | Violation of the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Abuse, Defending Against Punishment to a Fine

This is the account of the client who requested help from the Uijeongbu law firm.

The client contacted the victim after seeing a post about arranged sexual encounters that the victim had posted on social media.

Although the client was aware that the victim was a child or youth, the client met the victim, paid 50,000 won, and agreed to engage in a quasi-sexual act.

The client met the victim and, while moving in a vehicle that the client was driving, was stopped on the same day by a police officer dispatched in response to a report from the victim's parents.

The client faced the risk of severe punishment for luring a child or youth victim and soliciting the victim to sell sex in order to purchase the sex of the child or youth.

Through the assistance of an attorney, the client sought to reduce the sentence for violating the 🔗Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Abuse and reached out to the Uijeongbu law firm.

The client failed to restrain a moment of curiosity and impulse and attempted to purchase the sex of a minor.

The firm emphasized that the client deeply regretted having committed an offense that could cause a social controversy and that the client wrote a letter of apology.

The client is deeply ashamed and remorseful about having committed a serious offense against a child or youth.

Through this case, the client came to clearly recognize the unlawfulness of minor prostitution.

The firm emphasized that the client is a first-time offender, is voluntarily attending education to prevent reoffending, and therefore has a low risk of reoffending.

The client, who is new to the workforce, is not in a financially comfortable situation.

The firm emphasized that if the client received an actual custodial sentence, his livelihood could be seriously threatened, including being dismissed from the job he had worked hard to obtain.

The above case was an instance in which a client involved in allegations of violating the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Abuse proceeded with the case together with the Uijeongbu law firm and concluded the matter with a fine.

Offenses related to children and youth may carry a higher level of punishment than other offenses, so receiving the assistance of an attorney can be advantageous.
