The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined (to the extent of supplement in case of supplemental statements in the grounds of appeal not timely filed).
The judgment below
In addition, examining the reasoning of the first instance judgment maintained by the lower court in light of the evidence duly admitted, including each police interrogation protocol and K’s written statement against K, the lower court is justifiable to have found the Defendant guilty of the facts charged in the instant case on the grounds as stated in its reasoning. In so doing, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal doctrine on “the act of misleading to sell sex” under Article 13(2) of the Act on the Protection of Juveniles from Sexual Abuse, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on “the act of soliciting to sell sex,” contrary to logical and empirical rules.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
