Jeonju Law Firm Assistance Case | Securing Evidence to Prove a Defamation Charge
The client requested digital forensics assistance from a law firm that has handled numerous defamation cases, and came to a Jeonju attorney to find a solution to the case.
1. The Client's Situation

The client came to a Jeonju attorney to secure evidentiary materials to prove a defamation charge through the firm's systematic digital forensics procedure.
How the Digital Forensics Came to Be Requested
The account of the client to request help is as follows.
The client, a novelist, recently began receiving serious criticism from some readers regarding a work the client had written.
It began as criticism of the work, but the criticism gradually extended to the client's family, and the situation became serious.
Unable to endure this situation any longer, the client decided to take legal action against the people who had damaged the client's reputation.
Before proceeding with the 🔗defamation/dissemination of false information complaint procedure, the client came to a Jeonju attorney to request 🔗digital forensics assistance from the law firm.
2. Defamation as Explained by the Jeonju Law Firm
The client, a victim of defamation, came to the Jeonju law firm to receive digital forensics assistance before proceeding with the legal procedure.
Let us take a closer look at the statutory sentencing for defamation.
Statutory Sentencing for Defamation
Defamation refers to an offense committed by publicly pointing out a fact or a false fact that damages another person's reputation.
If a defamation charge is recognized, a person may be punished under the following provisions.
Article 307 of the Criminal Act (Defamation)
Defamation by Stating a Fact | Imprisonment with or without labor for not more than two years, or a fine not exceeding five million won |
Defamation by Stating a False Fact | Imprisonment for not more than five years, suspension of qualifications for not more than ten years, or a fine not exceeding ten million won |
Defamation is an offense committed when someone damages another person's reputation by stating content related to a fact or a false fact.
By contrast, insult is an offense committed when someone insults another person by using contemptuous expressions of emotion regardless of any fact, which is where the difference lies.
