[Suspension of Indictment] Successful Case: Client Accused of Obscene Communication Granted Suspension of Indictment

The client became the subject of an investigation for violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (Obscene Acts Using Means of Communication) after allegedly posting a comment on the victim’s social media post that could cause sexual humiliation and disgust.

Whether the Act Was Intentional

From the early stages of the case, MegaX Law Office developed an argument that rehabilitative measures, rather than punishment, were more appropriate, based on the fact that the conduct occurred impulsively as a result of the client’s particular beliefs.

MegaX also guided the client to acknowledge the wrongdoing and demonstrate sincere remorse throughout the investigation, and submitted supporting materials and a legal opinion to the investigative authorities.

Counsel personally accompanied the client during the investigation and actively presented the client’s position. As a result, the prosecution ultimately decided to suspend the indictment rather than impose unnecessary criminal punishment.
