Wrongly Accused of Sexual Misconduct, F-4 Visa Holder Avoids Charges and Secures D-8 Visa with Help from Dongju Law Firm

Law Firm Dongju 법무법인 동주 

A Chinese national in Korea on an F-4 visa, preparing to transition to a D-8 investment visa, was falsely accused of forcible molestation and illegal filming after holding his phone on an escalator in a subway station. A nearby woman reported feeling that she was being filmed or touched, triggering a police investigation and a report to immigration authorities — placing the client at risk of deportation or visa denial.

The client denied all allegations, stating there was no filming or contact. Dongju Law Firm immediately stepped in to defend him.

Key Legal Strategies and Results:

✅ Early legal intervention and consistent testimony
From the first police interview, Dongju ensured the client clearly explained hand and phone positioning using CCTV footage to maintain consistency and credibility.

✅ Forensic evidence disproved the claim
A full digital forensic analysis of the client’s phone showed no images or videos of the victim, confirming no illegal filming had occurred.

✅ Clarification and respectful communication with the accuser
Although a formal settlement wasn’t reached, the firm helped the client issue a respectful statement to de-escalate emotional tensions.

✅ Case closed with “No Charges Filed” (혐의 없음)
Authorities determined there was no clear intent to commit a crime, and the case was closed without indictment.

✅ Immigration issue resolved
Dongju Law Firm further defended the client in immigration proceedings, ensuring no criminal record affected his D-8 visa application. As a result, the client avoided detention and deportation, and safely proceeded with his visa change.

Legal Insight: In crowded public spaces, even innocent behavior by foreigners can be misinterpreted due to cultural misunderstandings or language barriers. In such cases, early legal representation is key to protecting both your legal status and reputation.

If you’re a foreign national facing criminal allegations in Korea — especially for sensitive offenses like sexual misconduct — contact Dongju Law Firm for strategic, comprehensive defense.
