Anyang Criminal Law Specialist Assistance Case | Non-Prosecution for a Client Charged with Defamation

The client recently had a drink with an acquaintance and got into an argument with the acquaintance.

While the quarrel continued, the client made a remark disparaging the acquaintance.

The acquaintance reported the client for 🔗defamation/dissemination of false information, and the client was placed at risk of criminal punishment.

The client therefore requested the assistance of an Anyang criminal law specialist attorney to defend against criminal punishment.

Such defamation is established where a person spreads a fact or a false fact and thereby damages another person's reputation.

However, for defamation to be established, the following requirements must be met.

Such defamation is punished pursuant to Article 307 of the Criminal Act, and the sentencing level varies depending on the matter.

The sentencing levels are as follows.

For such a crime of defamation, it must be proven that the victim's reputation was actually harmed, and the punishment may vary depending on the situation, so it is advisable to resolve the case with the help of a specialized attorney.

The place where the client had the dispute with the acquaintance was the client's home.

At the time, the only people present at the scene of the incident, other than the client and the victim, were two other acquaintances.

Accordingly, the attorney emphasized that there was no possibility of the statements made at the incident being spread externally, and that publicity was therefore not established.

The victim claimed that the client's remarks had defamed her.

However, the client stated that he had never made such remarks, and the remarks were not recorded in the transcript either.

The attorney therefore emphasized that the client's remarks were not proven, and that defamation accordingly did not stand.

This was the account of a client who was able to obtain a decision of non-prosecution through the assistance of an Anyang criminal attorney.
