During a sexual encounter with someone he had met through social media, our client filmed part of the other person's body without consent and was booked on a charge of illegal filming. Crimes involving illegally filmed material now attract intense public outrage and very harsh treatment from investigators, so there was a very real danger that this would lead to a prison sentence. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, our client came to DAEON Law Firm for legal assistance.

Rather than being swept up in public sentiment that condemns such conduct on its outcome alone, we concentrated on a close analysis of the full context of the incident and the specific circumstances at the time. Beyond simply acknowledging the illegality of the filming, we built the defense by legally reconstructing every circumstance in the record: how our client and the victim came to know each other, how the sexual encounter came about, and the emotional rapport between them at the time. In particular, we pursued a multifaceted sentencing strategy, demonstrating our client's deep remorse and his concrete efforts and commitment to changing his environment to prevent any reoffending, so that the court would have room to extend leniency. The court recognized the sincerity behind this carefully crafted defense, and we successfully averted a prison term and obtained a suspended sentence.
