(2) The lower court erred by misunderstanding the fact during the sentencing division (the first instance court: the fine of KRW 3 million; the completion of the sexual assault treatment program; 40 hours after the sexual assault treatment program

Article 59-3(1) and (2) of the Act on Welfare of Persons with Disabilities (amended by Act No. 15904, Dec. 11, 2018; effective from June 12, 2019; hereinafter referred to as “Act on Welfare of Persons with Disabilities”) provides that where a court issues a sentence of imprisonment or medical treatment and custody for a sex offense, it shall simultaneously issue an employment restriction order that prohibits persons with disabilities from operating welfare facilities or providing employment or actual labor to welfare facilities for a certain period not exceeding 10 years, but shall not issue an employment restriction order in cases where the risk of re-offending is considerably low or any other special circumstance that does not restrict employment exists.

However, Article 2 of the Addenda to the above amended Act provides that Article 59-3 of the amended Act provides that the above amended Act shall also apply to persons who have committed sex offenses and have not received final and conclusive judgments prior to its enforcement, so the above amended Act shall also apply. In this regard, the judgment of the court below shall no longer be maintained.
