Unlike the previous provision, Article 56(1) of the former Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles against Sexual Abuse (hereinafter “Juvenile Protection Act”), where a court declares a sex offense or a medical treatment and custody order for a sex offense (excluding a person subject to an employment restriction order under Article 11(5)) and at the same time imposes an employment restriction order for a period not exceeding 10 years, and at the same time imposes an employment restriction order for the same period (excluding a person subject to a fine).
