Imposition of Judgment

Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined (to the extent of supplement in case of supplemental appellate brief filed).
The lower court found the Defendant guilty of violating the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles against Sexual Abuse among the facts charged in the instant case on the grounds stated in its reasoning. Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the interpretation of “a business as stipulated in Article 15(1)2 of the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles against Sexual Abuse” and thereby adversely affecting the conclusion of the judgment, without exhaust all necessary deliberations, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
