Indecent assault attorney, can indecent assault be established even when forcing someone to do a love shot?

Hello. I am an indecent assault attorney at Daeryun Law Firm (LLC).

Even when forcing someone to do a love shot, indecent assault may be established depending on the circumstances.

Looking at actual case precedents, even though female employees clearly expressed their refusal, a case where the boss pressured them by suggesting personnel disadvantages if they did not drink alcohol, or used force to make them drink in the so-called love shot manner, the court recognized indecent assault under the Criminal Act.

This was evaluated as an act that goes beyond simple coercion to drink, and infringes upon the other party's sexual freedom.

Whether something constitutes indecent assault is not judged simply by physical contact alone.

The court comprehensively considers the victim's clear intention, gender and age, the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim, the circumstances leading to the act, the specific manner of the act, the objective surrounding situation at the time, and sexual moral concepts in social common sense.

Therefore, even under the pretext of a love shot, if it was forced using status or power despite the other party's refusal, criminal liability may become an issue.
