Defense Case with a Retained School Violence Lawyer | Assisting a Client Charged with Indecent Act by Compulsion to Obtain a Protective Disposition

The client is a third-year high school student who had a classmate friend with whom the client had attended a piano academy since the first year.

On the day of the incident, during a break, the client and the classmate friend played the piano together in the school music room.

Surprised to see that the classmate friend's body shape had changed considerably over the past year and that the friend had succeeded in dieting, the client talked mainly about that and placed a hand on the friend's knee and waist.

However, other friends were also present there, and the client did nothing else in particular, playing the piano until the break ended and then returning to the classroom.

Afterward, the classmate friend suddenly reported to the school and the police that the client had committed an indecent act by compulsion, and in response the client requested help from a school violence attorney to respond with legal assistance.

The types and content of juvenile protective dispositions are as follows.

If you are involved in a juvenile crime, it is advisable to obtain the help of an attorney with expertise in the relevant field in order to closely understand the circumstances of the case and respond accordingly.

The client merely had physical contact while playing the piano together with the victim in a music room open to students and staff, with other students also present.

The school violence attorney emphasized that there had been no exercise of force sufficient to establish a forcible indecent act, and that, since it was an open space where many people were present together, it was difficult to find that a forcible indecent act had occurred.

The client remembered the circumstances at the time of the incident in detail and consistently stated that there was no situation that could be regarded as an indecent act by compulsion.

However, the victim continued to retract her statements and described the client's conduct only in abstract terms.

The school violence attorney emphasized that, because the victim's statements were inaccurate, it was difficult for the crime to be established.

The client and the victim had been close friends who attended a cram school together from their first year of high school and would joke around with each other, and physical contact while joking had occurred between them from time to time before.

The school violence attorney emphasized that there was insufficient basis to regard this particular incident alone as a malicious forcible indecent act.

Unlike criminal punishment, a protective disposition does not leave a criminal record, but it may remain in the police investigation records, so it is important to respond well from the early stage.

In particular, because it can greatly affect the future personality development of the youth concerned, it is advisable to keep this in mind as well.
