The client who came to the minor prostitution attorney, after being sentenced to an actual custodial sentence on a charge of prostitution involving a minor, requested the assistance of a sex crime attorney in order to obtain a reduction of sentence by filing an appeal.
The Client Involved in a Child Sex Crime Charge
The story of the client who requested help from the attorney for prostitution involving a minor is as follows.
The client continued to build a friendship with the victim, whom he had become close to on a chat application, even though he knew that the victim was a minor.
Having developed a sexual impulse toward the victim, the client called the victim to his home, had sexual relations, and handed over cash.
When the victim's parents learned of this, they filed a complaint against the client for a child 🔗prostitution offense, and the client ultimately received an actual custodial sentence at the first instance.
He requested help from a sex crime attorney in order to proceed with the case together with an experienced attorney and to obtain a suspended sentence on appeal.
2. Statutes Relevant to the Case, Explained by a Lawyer for Minor Prostitution Cases
The client suspected of purchasing sex from a minor came to a sex crime attorney, hoping to obtain a reduction of sentence on appeal after receiving an actual custodial sentence.
Let us look in detail at sex crimes against children.
Sentencing for Child Sex Crimes
The client engaged in prostitution with a minor who did not have the capacity for judgment to fully exercise the right of sexual self-determination.
If this charge is established, the client may be punished under Article 13 of the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sexual Abuse.
The act of purchasing the sex of a child or youth ▶ imprisonment for at least 1 year and up to 10 years or a fine of at least 20 million won and up to 50 million won
Also, enticing a child or youth in order to purchase sex, or soliciting a child or youth to sell sex ▶ imprisonment for up to 3 years or a fine of up to 30 million won
In this case, if such a crime is committed against a child or youth under the age of 16, the sentence may be aggravated by up to one half.
As shown, courts impose very strict punishment for sex crimes involving minors, so if you are implicated in this charge, it is advisable to promptly request the help of an experienced attorney.

The client has the will to receive psychological treatment so as not to reoffend.
The attorney emphasized that the client accurately recognizes his wrongdoing and has the will to improve, so the risk of reoffending is low.
Sex Crime Attorney's Assistance ③ Arguing That a Settlement Was Reached with the Victim
Although the client did not reach a settlement with the 🔗sex crime victim at the first trial, as a result of the sex crime attorney's continuous efforts to find an amicable point of agreement, a settlement was successfully reached.
