01. Background

After spending time with acquaintances, the client went to an apartment with another group and stayed there briefly. The client and the other party spent time together smoking and talking, during which brief physical contact occurred.


However, the other party subsequently filed a criminal complaint against the client, alleging violations of the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sex Offenses (Quasi-Sexual Acts and Indecent Assault).


The unexpected complaint placed the client under criminal investigation. Concerned that the incident might be interpreted differently from what had actually occurred, the client recognized the need for professional legal assistance.

03. Legal Strategy

MegaX Law Office’s attorneys handling cases under the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sex Offenses provided strategic legal assistance by securing evidence and statements favorable to the client and minimizing potential legal risks.


① Systematic Preparation of Initial Statements and Relevant Evidence

Before the police investigation, the defense team conducted extensive interviews with the client, reconstructing and organizing the events and circumstances of the day of the incident minute by minute.

The team focused on securing objective evidence, including CCTV footage, call records, and witness statements, and carefully examined any inconsistencies between the evidence and the statements.


② Analysis and Submission of Circumstantial Evidence and Supporting Materials

MegaX obtained video footage showing the client and the other party moving together on the day of the incident and afterward. The footage was analyzed to identify circumstances suggesting that the situation was neither coercive nor threatening.

The team also examined the complainant’s communications and behavior following the incident, including instances in which the complainant contacted the client first and requested to meet.

These findings were submitted to the investigative authorities along with a legal opinion explaining the discrepancies between the allegations and the actual circumstances.


③ Minimizing Legal Risks and Proactively Submitting Legal Opinions

The defense team anticipated potential legal risks that could arise during the investigation and developed a comprehensive legal strategy to protect the client’s right to a defense to the fullest extent possible.

Based on the evidence and analysis obtained, MegaX submitted multiple legal opinions arguing that the complainant’s statements lacked credibility and that the alleged criminal conduct could not be established.

Through these efforts, the defense team sought to persuade the investigative authorities that the allegations were not sufficiently supported by the evidence.
