Cheongju Law Office Assistance Case | Representing a Defamation Victim in Filing a Complaint, Resulting in a Fine for the Offender

The account of the client for a consultation is as follows.

The client, whose hobby was horseback riding, quickly became close with a person who had come to learn horseback riding, and the two became friends.

After a few months, the friend proposed that the client quit horseback riding and began speaking ill of the coach and the other students.

However, considering the relationship with the coach who had taught the client, the client declined the proposal.

After that, the friend's attitude suddenly changed, and the friend began spreading false information with the purpose of slandering the client to those around them.

Unable to tolerate it any longer, the client decided to file a complaint and looked for a Cheongju attorney with experience handling many 🔗defamation/spreading of false information cases.

The offender was spreading false information, such as claims that the client had secretly installed a recording device and was eavesdropping.

Although the client had never eavesdropped using a recording device, the offender spread specific false information.

The attorney even emphasized that the offender had spread false information with intent and the purpose of slander, such as claims that the client would install a subminiature camera at the horseback riding center to eavesdrop.

The offense of insult is committed when a person publicly insults another.

Here, an insult refers to expressing, without alleging a fact, an abstract judgment or a contemptuous sentiment capable of lowering a person's social reputation.

"Publicly" refers to a state in which an unspecified number of people or many people can perceive it, and the offender wrote and uploaded a post on social media that disparaged the client.

The attorney emphasized that this created a state in which an unspecified number of people or many people could view it, and that the content of the post contained contemptuous material capable of lowering the client's social reputation.

The above was a case in which the client, with the assistance of the Cheongju attorney, succeeded in obtaining a fine against the offender for the offense of defamation.
