1. As to the identity of the facts charged, the lower court found the Defendant guilty of the instant facts charged, on the grounds as indicated in its reasoning, on the grounds that the basic factual basis of the facts charged cannot be deemed identical to that of the instant facts charged and the summary order (Seoul District Court Branch Branch Decision 2013 High Court Decision 20
The judgment below
Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the identity of facts charged and res judicata as stated in the grounds of appeal.
2. As to child and juvenile pornography
A. “Apparent materials that can be perceived as a child or juvenile” under Article 2 subparag. 5 of the former Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles against Sexual Abuse (wholly amended by Act No. 11572, Dec. 18, 2012; hereinafter the same shall apply) refer to expressive materials that can be clearly perceived as a juvenile from an average perspective of society, objectively perceived as a juvenile. In individual cases, determination should be made after careful consideration of various circumstances, such as the description of the appearance and physical appearance of a person in which expressive materials are expressed, voice or horses, clothes, conditions setting, and background or distance of video works.
