The client purchased illegally filmed material of women from a seller he came to know through an internet search.
The seller sent several photographs through Telegram, and the client purchased videos by selecting the photographs he wanted and then transferring the payment.
The client purchased a total of 40 videos and stored them on his mobile phone.
However, a friend who witnessed the client's offense reported it to the police, and the case came to light.
The courts impose strict punishment for the possession of illegally filmed material in order to protect individuals' sexual self-determination and privacy and to maintain legal order.
The client came to the Cheongju attorney, seeking to resolve the matter through the assistance of an attorney experienced in handling 🔗distribution of obscene material and 🔗illegal filming using a camera cases.
2. Statutes Relevant to the Case, Explained by the Cheongju Law Office
The client was booked on a charge of possessing illegally filmed material and requested help from the Cheongju attorney.
Merely viewing, downloading, or possessing illegally filmed material is punishable by imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of up to 30 million won.
Punishment for the charge of possessing illegally filmed material is gradually being strengthened, and the courts treat it severely.
Accordingly, receiving the assistance of an attorney at the early stage of the case is very important.
3. The Cheongju Law Office's Assistance
The Cheongju law office prepared a specific and strategic response based on the statutes relevant to the case and the latest precedents. It defended the client, arguing as follows.

From the time the investigation of the case began until now, the client has acknowledged all of his improper conduct and is remorseful.
He actively cooperated with the forensic procedure on his own mobile phone, allowing the investigation to proceed smoothly.
The office emphasized that, along with a pledge never to commit the same wrong again, the client submitted a letter of apology.
Cheongju Law Office Argument ② Circumstances Regarding Distribution of Illegally Filmed Material
While it is true that the client possessed the illegally filmed material, he never distributed or shared it.
He merely possessed the purchased videos and did not go on to any further offense.
The office emphasized that, although the client's conduct was clearly wrong, he did not spread the harm caused by the offense.
Cheongju Law Office Argument ③ Efforts to Prevent Reoffending
After the incident, the client voluntarily took sex offense prevention education to prevent any recurrence.
Through this education, he came to deeply recognize the effect his conduct has on others.
The office emphasized that, because the client is making his own efforts to improve, the likelihood of reoffending is low.
