Attorney specializing in sex crimes, these days there is a lot of talk about digital sex crimes in the news. I have a vague idea, but I do not really know exactly what is included. I have heard of things such as illegal filming or distribution, but I am told that there are several other types as well. Could you perhaps explain it in a way that an ordinary person like me can easily understand?

Hello. This is an attorney specializing in sex crimes at the law firm Daeryun LLC (limited).
A digital sex crime refers to the act of illegally filming another person without their consent using a device such as a camera or a smartphone, or distributing, threatening with, storing, or consuming such recordings.
Furthermore, it encompasses the entire range of acts that infringe upon another person's right to sexual self-determination and personal rights in online spaces.
Recently, beyond simple filming, its patterns have expanded to include the production of synthetic media, threats of distribution, and sexual exploitation of children and adolescents, so the scale of harm is growing.
The representative types are as follows.
- Illegal filming
- Distribution and redistribution
- Threats of distribution
- Production and distribution of false video material
- Distribution and consumption structures
- Possession, purchase, storage, and viewing
- Sexual exploitation and grooming of children and adolescents
-Online sexual harassment
As such, digital sex crimes have diverse types, and the harm can spread repeatedly over a long period, so how one responds at an early stage is very important.
If you have suffered related harm or, conversely, have been unfairly accused, we strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney specializing in sex crimes to prepare a response.
For detailed matters, please confirm them through consultation with an attorney specializing in sex crimes.
