Sex Crime Specialist Attorney Assistance Case | Client Charged With Attempted Rape, Non-Referral

The client who sought a sex crimes specialist attorney wished to obtain legal assistance after being reported by a former partner on an allegation of attempted rape, and received a non-referral decision with the attorney's help.

A Client Accused of Attempted Rape

This is the story of a client who came to a sex crime attorney.

The client had a former girlfriend with whom he had been in a relationship for three years.

Only now, more than a year after the breakup, the other party reported the client to the police on a charge of attempted rape.

The other party claimed that the client had tried to force sexual relations during a trip they had taken while they were dating.

However, this was not true, and the client, who felt this was unjust, came to a sex crime attorney to request legal assistance.

2. Attempted Rape Explained by the Sex Crime Specialist Attorney

The charge against the client who came to the sex crime specialist attorney was attempted rape.

Attempted rape is established when a person attempts to rape another by means of assault or intimidation but fails to complete the act.

The level of punishment is applied identically to that for 🔗rape (sexual assault), so it is important to examine in detail whether the criminal charge is established.

If the offense was committed together with intrusion upon habitation, special theft, special robbery, or rape of a minor under 13, the level of punishment is even heavier under the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, so caution is required.

Representative examples of sexual violence under the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes


▶ Special robbery rape and its attempt

▶ Rape by a relative and its attempt

▶ Rape of a person with disability and its attempt

▶ The crime of rape, etc. causing injury and its attempt

▶ The crime of rape, etc. causing death and its attempt

▶ The crime of indecent act by abuse of authority


What Is the Level of Punishment for Attempted Rape?

If the suspicion of sexual assault is established, even an attempted offender will be punished under the Criminal Act.

Criminal Act, Article 297 (Rape)
A person who rapes another through violence or intimidation shall be punished by imprisonment for a definite term of not less than three years.

Criminal Act, Article 300 (Attempted Offenses)
An attempt of the offense under Article 297 (Rape)… shall be punished.

3. The Sex Crime Specialist Attorney's Assistance

The sex crime specialist attorney examined the client's charge in detail and, in cooperation with a digital forensics expert, collected evidence and then prepared a defense.

Attempted Rape Response Strategy 1: Securing Evidence Through Digital Forensics

As a result of conducting digital forensics on the client's mobile phone, materials such as conversations, photographs, and videos exchanged with the other party a year earlier could be secured.

According to the digital forensics materials, it could be inferred that the other party had also consented to sexual relations with the client at first.

The sex crime attorney submitted these materials as evidence and emphasized that the other party had no intention of refusal at the outset on the day of the incident.

Attempted Rape Response Strategy 2: No Attempt at Rape by the Client

On the day of the incident in which the other party claims to have suffered harm, the client attempted sexual intercourse but stopped immediately when the other party refused.

On the day of the incident, the client had no intent to attempt sexual intercourse by force, nor did he commit such an act.

The sexual crimes attorney argued that, because the client did not even attempt rape, the charge was not established.

Attempted Rape Response Strategy 3: The Relationship Continued Even After the Incident

The client continued the romantic relationship with the other party for several months or more even after the period during which the other party claimed to have suffered harm.

Digital forensics materials that could prove this had also been secured.

The sex crimes attorney submitted such materials as evidence and emphasized that, because the relationship continued even after the incident, the basis for the allegation was thin.

4. Result of the Sex Crime Specialist Attorney's Assistance: “Non-Referral”
