Although the victim want to continue to work at a child welfare facility of this case, the victim was retired from office on the day following the crime of this case.

② Considering the occupation of the Defendant, the relationship between the Defendant and the victim, there seems to be no reason to care for the fact that the victim is an indecent act by force that may cause serious harm to the Defendant who is a pastor.

(3) Any part of the specific contents of the indecent act committed by the Defendant in the victim’s statement cannot be found in violation of the empirical rule.

Considering the shape, structure, operation status, etc. of scooter, the behavior stated in the facts charged in the instant case cannot be seen as impossible as the Defendant’s assertion.
