Can Instagram DMs be used as evidence of an affair?

I discovered that my spouse was secretly contacting someone through Instagram. However, it seems the DM contents may have been deleted, and I would like to know whether such Instagram conversations can also be used as evidence of an affair. I would also like to know whether there is a way for me to check or secure them myself.

I was in a non-contact traffic accident. What kind of evidence should I gather?

While driving, another vehicle suddenly cut in front of my car, so I braked abruptly. There was no actual collision, but in the process my vehicle skidded and crashed into a structure, resulting in considerable repair costs. The other vehicle just left… I would like to know what evidence is needed for a non-contact traffic accident to be recognized as an accident, and what I should do now.

What evidence is needed to respond with a false accusation charge for sexual molestation?

Not long ago, I was the subject of a criminal complaint by a junior colleague I had been close with, claiming that I committed sexual molestation. There was no such fact at all at the drinking gathering at the time, but the people around us say they were drunk and do not remember. It seems the other party made a false report out of emotion, and I feel it is so unfair that I intend to collect materials and counter with a false accusation charge. I am curious about specifically what evidence is needed and what requirements must be met for a false accusation of sexual molestation to be recognized.

What evidence is needed to prove a false accusation of forcible indecent act?

I was reported by a company colleague for sexual molestation at a drinking gathering. However, there were several people present at the time, and rather, it was a situation in which the other party first attempted physical contact. Recently, I heard that there are cases where people responded with a charge of false accusation of forcible indecent act by securing evidence such as CCTV, call recordings, and text messages. I too want to prove the other party's false statements, and I am curious about what evidence I should secure and what requirements are needed for false accusation to actually be recognized.

I intend to report my supervisor for workplace sexual harassment.

I have repeatedly received inappropriate sexual remarks and messages from my supervisor at work. I tried to secure evidence, but my supervisor deleted some of the messages, so almost nothing remains.

What evidence should I gather to have jeonse fraud punished?

I entered into a jeonse lease, but I later found out that a mortgage had been established and that the return of the deposit was entirely impossible. The landlord deliberately concealed this and induced me to enter the contract. In a case like this, can I have the landlord punished for jeonse fraud? I am also curious about what evidence I need to secure.

What evidence must I gather to file a complaint for obscenity via telecommunication media?

A person I came to know through an acquaintance keeps sending me messages demanding sexual acts. Although no actual harm has occurred yet, can I file a complaint against this conduct itself?

Can I report this as online grooming?

I have a daughter who is a middle school student, and recently she seems to be exchanging messages with a male university student she met through a random chat app. When I secretly checked, there was a message saying, "Take a photo of your legs in your school uniform and send it," and although my child did not actually send a photo, in such a case, can that man be punished for online grooming?

What evidence should I gather to report dating sexual violence?

I was forced into sexual intercourse by the boyfriend I am dating, but because we are in a romantic relationship, I am worried that, without evidence, no one will believe me based on my word alone. He forcibly touched my body even though I refused, so I intend to file a complaint for dating sexual violence; I would be grateful if you could tell me specifically what evidence I should prepare.
