3. Determination of sentence: 10 months of imprisonment, and 2 years of suspended sentence mean the purchase of sex of a juvenile whose perception of sex is not fully established, and the crime of this case is not less than that of the crime, but it is highly likely to be criticized in that the crime of buying sex of a juvenile has a serious adverse effect on the establishment of the proper and sound sexual culture in our society.

In the past, the defendant seems to have engaged in the same sex purchase activity as that of a woman, and is responsible therefor.

However, it appears that the defendant is recognized by an investigative agency to commit a crime, and ② the defendant is subject to criminal punishment.
