The defendant's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. On August 5, 2015, the Defendant received 2,200,000 won under the pretext of solicitation after receiving a request from E to inform of enforcement information on or around August 5, 2015. However, the Defendant did not receive a total of KRW 29,100,00 (=31,300,000 won - 2,200,000 won) under the pretext of solicitation as stated in the remaining facts charged.
2) With regard to the violation of the Act on the Punishment of Acts, Including Mediation, etc. of Commercial Sex Acts (mediation, etc. of Commercial Sex Acts), the Defendant is insufficient to provide funds for the Defendant to run a singing room.
On the other hand, E shall be given a loan of KRW 15 million to E, and the principal and interest thereof shall be paid only, and there is no fact that he/she operates a commercial sex business establishment or received the profit by investing the said KRW 15 million in collusion with E.
B. The punishment of the lower court (one year and six months of imprisonment, confiscation, additional collection charge 50,230,000 won) is too unreasonable.
