The judgment below

Busan District Court Western Branch Decision 2020Ma783 decided May 29, 2020

Imposition of Judgment

August 21, 2020:

Text

The judgment of the court below is reversed.

A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than eight months.

The defendant shall be ordered to complete the sexual assault treatment program for 80 hours.

The defendant shall be subject to employment restrictions for each two years at child and juvenile-related institutions, etc. and welfare facilities for disabled persons.

Reasons

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. Defendant

The sentence of the lower court (eight months of imprisonment, 80 hours of completing a sexual assault treatment program, 2 years of employment restriction) is too unreasonable.

(b) Prosecutors;

The sentence of the court below is too uneasible and unfair.

2. Ex officio determination

The grounds for appeal by the defendant and prosecutor shall be examined ex officio prior to judgment.

According to Article 29-3(1) of the Child Welfare Act, when a court declares a sentence or medical treatment and custody for committing a crime related to child abuse, it shall, by judgment, issue an order to operate a child-related institution or not to provide employment or actual labor to a child-related institution during the period of employment restriction (hereinafter referred to as "employment restriction order") at the same time with the judgment of a case related to child abuse. In addition, according to Article 3-7-2 of the same Act, "child abuse-related crime" refers to a crime falling under any of the crimes under Article 2-4 of the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment, etc. of Child Abuse Crimes or Articles 250 through 255 of the Criminal Act against a child.

Although the instant crime was committed against a child under 13 years of age, the Defendant does not constitute a crime of child abuse under subparagraph 4 (l) of Article 2 of the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment, etc. of Child Abuse Crimes, i.e., child abuse by his guardian, as long as the Defendant is not the victim’s guardian, and does not fall under any of the crimes under the subparagraphs of Article 71(1) of the Child Welfare Act. Therefore, as long as the Defendant cannot be deemed to have committed a crime of child abuse-related, the lower court, despite that the Defendant cannot issue an employment restriction order against a child-related institution, did not order the Defendant to place an employment restriction order for two years

3. Conclusion

The judgment of the court below is reversed in accordance with Article 364 (2) of the Criminal Procedure Act without examining the grounds for ex officio reversal, and the following is again decided after oral argument.
