성폭력범죄의처벌등에관한특례법위반(13세미만미성년자강제추행)

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The argument points out that the fact-finding of the lower court with regard to the facts charged of this case was erroneous.

However, the recognition of facts and the selection and evaluation of evidence conducted on the premise thereof are within the discretionary power of the fact-finding court unless it goes beyond the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence by violating logical and empirical rules.

In light of the records, in this case where it is not possible to find out that the facts established by the court below exceeded the above limit even after examining the reasoning of the judgment below, the above appeal shall not be accepted merely because it criticizes the matters falling under the exclusive authority of the court below.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
