Stalker Complaint Punishment Defense Case | Client Subject to a Complaint as a Stalker, Suspension of Indictment

The client who was the subject of a stalking complaint was recently notified of a breakup by a girlfriend.

However, the client, who still had lingering feelings, ended up contacting the girlfriend continuously.

Accordingly, the client's former girlfriend reported the client for stalking.

Facing the prospect of criminal punishment due to the stalking complaint, the client came to a stalking attorney to defend against punishment and requested assistance with responding to the complaint.

Stalking is punished in accordance with Article 18 of the Act on Punishment of Crime of Stalking.

▶ Where a person commits a stalking offense

▶ Where a person commits a stalking offense while carrying or using a deadly weapon or dangerous object

The stalking attorney completed a settlement with the victim and emphasized that the victim also did not desire punishment.

Following the attorney's advice, the client sincerely apologized to the victim and expressed an intention to settle.

Through this, the settlement succeeded, and the attorney was able to obtain the victim's statement of no desire for the client's punishment.

The stalking attorney emphasized that the harm caused by the conduct of the client, who had been accused of being a stalker, was not serious.

By analyzing cases similar to the client's, the attorney was able to establish that the client's conduct was minor compared to other cases.

On this basis, the attorney was able to assert that the client's conduct did not cause significant harm compared to other cases and that the period of the offense was short.

The stalking attorney emphasized that the client's likelihood of reoffending was markedly low.

The client was generally well regarded at work and was also assessed as diligent among acquaintances.

On the basis that a client with such clear social ties has a low likelihood of reoffending, the attorney appealed for leniency for the client.

This was the case of a client who was nearly subjected to criminal punishment after being accused of stalking, but was able to receive a suspension of indictment with the assistance of a stalking attorney.

As this shows, stalking conduct can lead to even more severe punishment with the enforcement of the Act on Punishment of Crime of Stalking.
