A Gangnam Law Office Case | A Client Charged with an Indecent Act by Compulsion, a Gangnam Attorney Who Secured a Non-Referral Decision

The client's account is as follows.

After finishing all of the work at the company, the client attended a company dinner with colleagues.

While talking with the colleagues, a coworker, A, approached the client and began making physical contact.

Feeling uncomfortable with A's rude conduct, the client grabbed A's arm to stop this behavior and made clear a refusal.

A short time later, the client was placed in a very distressing situation after being filed against by A on a charge of an indecent act by compulsion.

The client sought out a Gangnam attorney with experience handling numerous 🔗indecent act by compulsion (sexual molestation) cases, hoping to obtain a non-referral decision on the charge of an indecent act by compulsion.

If the following elements are met, the crime of an indecent act by compulsion is committed and may result in serious punishment.

A person who commits an indecent act against another through assault or intimidation may be punished, under Article 298 of the Criminal Act, by imprisonment for not more than ten years or a fine not exceeding 15 million won.

The crime of an indecent act by compulsion is an offense that infringes on sexual freedom and can cause serious harm to the victim, so the courts punish it strictly.

If a person becomes involved in a crime of an indecent act by compulsion, promptly consulting an attorney can be helpful.

When the complainant tried to make physical contact with the client, the client made clear a refusal and grabbed the complainant's arm.

The client, who found the physical contact uncomfortable, passively restrained the complainant's conduct in order to get out of the situation.

The attorney emphasized that there was no indecent act by compulsion at all and that, on the contrary, the client had been subjected to an indecent act by the complainant.

The client had no intent to commit an indecent act by compulsion against the complainant, and the objective circumstances were not such that the client could have committed an indecent act by compulsion against the complainant.

In light of the statements of fact and written statements from other employees, the attorney emphasized that there was no charge of an indecent act by compulsion against the client.

Although the complainant claimed to have been subjected to an indecent act by compulsion by the client, there was no objective evidence at all, apart from the complainant's statement, to prove an offense by the client.

The attorney also emphasized that the client, despite never having committed an indecent act against the complainant, was suffering severe mental distress after being involved in this case.

If you are placed in an unjust situation in a sexual offense case, it is recommended to systematically gather evidence and prepare a prompt response with the assistance of an attorney.
