Law Firm Changchun obtained a suspension of indictment in a case involving filming video of a woman using a camera.
Violation of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (filming using a camera) is a very serious offense: on indictment and conviction it can carry imprisonment of up to five years or a fine of up to KRW 10 million, and can also result in registration of personal information. The government has recently gone so far as to state its intention to punish such offenses strictly. When someone is accused of this offense, the early response is therefore critical.
In this matter, after thorough strategy meetings with our client, Law Firm Changchun was able to respond effectively by putting a response strategy firmly in place from the earliest stage of the investigation. In the end the prosecution issued a suspension of indictment, taking into account our client's genuine remorse and the mitigating circumstances in how the incident came about.
