아동ㆍ청소년의성보호에관한법률위반(강제추행)

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The lower court found the Defendant guilty of the instant charges on the grounds indicated in its reasoning.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and the evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by omitting necessary judgment

According to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for not less than ten years is imposed, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing

In this case where a more minor sentence is imposed on the defendant, the argument that the punishment is too unreasonable is not a legitimate ground for appeal.

Meanwhile, the Defendant stated in the sign of the appellate brief that “the lower court violated the Constitution, laws, orders, or rules, or erred by misapprehending the legal doctrine, thereby adversely affecting the conclusion of the judgment.” Therefore, it cannot be deemed a legitimate ground of appeal.

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