1. Case Overview
This case involves a student victim who, after breaking up with a dating partner, was assaulted by the perpetrator and suffered severe cyber violence, including the distribution of videos filming the victim's body to others. Additionally, the perpetrator repeatedly spread false facts and insulting expressions about the victim to multiple students, defaming the victim's character. In response, the victim's side requested relief of rights through the School Violence Countermeasures Deliberation Committee procedures.

2. Unique Aspects of the Case
This case is characterized by the fact that it was not a simple conflict between students, but a serious school violence case combining digital sex crime elements, namely the distribution of illegally filmed material, with defamation and cyber violence. Because online distribution among adolescents has a high potential to cause continuous mental distress and secondary victimization for the victim, it was crucial to objectively prove the severity and repetitiveness of the perpetrator's actions.

3. Attorney Assistance
Law Firm Theo systematically compiled the details of the perpetrator's distribution of the illegally filmed material, the online transmission process, and the content of the disseminated false facts and insulting remarks, submitting them to the School Violence Countermeasures Deliberation Committee. We actively assisted in ensuring appropriate protective and disciplinary measures were taken by specifically clarifying the psychological shock the victim experienced and its impact on their school life, while emphasizing the severity of the cyber violence and defamation.

4. Result of Assistance
The School Violence Countermeasures Deliberation Committee recognized the perpetrator's cyber violence and defamation acts, deciding on community service and mandatory special education for the perpetrator. Furthermore, protective measures such as psychological counseling and advice were implemented for the victim, providing support for their recovery in school life. Law Firm Theo achieved a meaningful result by actively protecting the victim's rights and eliciting an appropriate disciplinary decision in a school violence case involving digital sex crimes and online defamation.
