The defendant shall be innocent.

Reasons

1. The summary of the facts charged A is a person who has been married with C on January 18, 1996, and the defendant is a person who has been married with D on February 11, 1987.

The defendant knew that he is a spouse of the above A, and had sexual intercourse with A over 19 times at the same date, time, and place as the list of crimes in the attached Form.

2. The prosecutor charged a public prosecution with respect to the facts charged in the instant case by applying Article 241(1) of the Criminal Act (amended by Act No. 293, Sept. 18, 1953); the judgment subject to a retrial, which found the Defendant guilty, was rendered final and conclusive on December 16, 2014.

On February 26, 2015, after the judgment subject to review became final and conclusive, the Constitutional Court declared that the above provision of the law is unconstitutional.

(2011Hun-Ga31, etc.). The provisions of the Act on Punishment decided as unconstitutional shall retroactively lose its effect on the day following the day on which the previous decision is made (Article 47(3) of the Constitutional Court Act). Since the Constitutional Court rendered a decision that the above provisions of the Act do not violate the Constitution on October 30, 2008 (Article 2007Hun-Ga17, etc.). Thus, the above provisions of the Act retroactively lose its effect on October 31, 2008, which is next day.

The facts charged of this case include acts after the base date on which the retroactive effect is affected, and the applicable provisions of this case’s facts charged were retroactively invalidated in accordance with the decision of unconstitutionality as above.

3. In conclusion, the facts charged in this case constitute a case that does not constitute a crime, and thus, the defendant shall be acquitted pursuant to the former part of Article 325 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
