Case Type: Criminal

Result: Conditional Deferred Prosecution with Educational Program

Case Details:

Suhn Law Group recently defended a university student accused of possessing illegal filmed content obtained via SNS, achieving a conditional deferred prosecution with educational requirements. Easy access to illegal sexual content often leads college students to inadvertently become defendants in digital sex crime cases. In this case, the client was a top university student who, due to a momentary lapse in judgment, received and stored illegal material, putting their future employment and personal record at serious risk.

Suhn Law Group’s criminal team (Lead Attorney: Bak Sung uk) advised the client to fully admit all charges and actively cooperate with the investigation from the start. Despite the case involving dozens of defendants, including individuals who were arrested for distributing illegal materials, the team managed to maintain a favorable impression with the investigating officers.

During prosecution, the defense highlighted:

1. The client’s clean record and status as a first-time offender.

2. No transmission or distribution of the illegal materials to others or online.

3. Genuine remorse and no risk of reoffending.

4. The client’s challenging personal background—essentially orphaned—yet demonstrated resilience by excelling academically and gaining admission to a prestigious university.

Attorney Park also personally contacted the victims to offer sincere apologies, which led to a special settlement in favor of the client.

Through early admission, detailed preparation of mitigation materials, and genuine reconciliation efforts, the prosecution agreed to a conditional deferred prosecution with educational requirements, allowing the client to resolve the case without a criminal record. The client, inspired by the dedicated efforts of Attorney Park, even expressed a desire to pursue a career in law.

Suhn Law Group continues to provide precise legal analysis, clear defense strategy, and sincere engagement with all parties to achieve the best outcomes for clients in digital sex crime cases.
