The judgment of the court below is reversed.

A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for six months.

Sexual assault, 80 hours against the defendant.

Reasons

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. The Defendant of mistake of facts merely committed a normal tension with the victim, and did not commit an indecent act against the victim.

Nevertheless, the lower court erred by misapprehending the facts, thereby having found the Defendant to have committed an indecent act by force.

The crime of indecent act by compulsion falls under a sex offense to which Article 59-3(1) of the above Act applies, and this court should determine whether to issue or exempt an employment restriction order to the defendant pursuant to Article 59-3(1) of the above Act.
