The defendant shall be ordered to place an employment restriction (including the prohibition of operation and the provision of actual labor) on children and juveniles-related institutions, etc. for five years.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. Unreasonable sentencing
The sentencing of the court below is too inappropriate.
(b) Unfair disclosure and notification orders;
Although there are special circumstances that prevent the disclosure of Defendant's personal information, it is improper that the court below ordered the disclosure and notification of Defendant's information for five years.
(c) Unfair employment restriction orders;
It is unfair that the court below ordered the defendant to be placed on employment for ten years at child and juvenile-related institutions, etc.
2. Determination
A. Determination on the assertion of unreasonable sentencing
The crime of this case is an inevitable punishment against the defendant, considering that the defendant rapes the victim B, commits an indecent act by force against the victim F, uses psychotropic drugs by leaving the victim K with strokes containing the ingredients of strokem on the strokes, makes the victim K k to commit rape, and takes the victim N's body against his will by using mobile phones, taking the victim N's body against the victim's will, furthermore, it is not good to commit the crime in this case, each crime of this case reveals considerable mental shock and suffering to the victims. The defendant committed various crimes such as indecent act by force, attempted rape, etc. while being investigated by rape against the victim B, and also planned and interviewed by the law on the crime of this case.
However, when considering the defendant's age, character and environment, motive, means and consequence of the crime of this case, the sentencing conditions specified in the argument of this case, such as the defendant's age, character and environment, motive, means and consequence of the crime, and the scope of the recommended sentence according to the sentencing guidelines of the Supreme Court Sentencing Committee, it is recognized that the sentence of the court below is too unreasonable, and thus, the defendant's punishment is too unreasonable, since it is recognized that there is no criminal history against the defendant, the defendant does not want to punish the defendant, and the victim N, B, and F from the investigative agency to the trial, and the victim K does not want to be punished by the defendant. This part of the defendant's argument is reasonable.
B. Determination on the unjust assertion of disclosure and notification order
The Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes and the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles against Sexual Abuse shall, in principle, allow disclosure and notification of the personal information of all persons who have committed sexual crimes and sex offenses against children and juveniles in order to defend our society from sexual crimes, and they shall be exempted from such disclosure and notification only in exceptional cases where there are special circumstances that may not exceptionally exist. Here, whether such disclosure and notification order constitutes "any special circumstances that may not disclose personal information" should be determined by comprehensively taking into account the Defendant's age, occupation, risk of recidivism, etc. characteristics of the crime, such as the type, motive, process, consequence, seriousness of the crime, etc., characteristics of the offender, such as the type of the crime, motive, consequence, and gravity of the crime, degree of disadvantage and anticipated side effects that the Defendant suffers, sex crimes subject to registration and sex offenses against children and juveniles, effects of registration and protection of victims from sexual crimes and sex offenses against children and juveniles (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2011Do16863, Feb. 23, 2012).
In light of the above legal principles and the evidence duly adopted and examined by the court below, in light of the defendant's age, power, risk of repeating the crime of this case, the background and method of the crime of this case, the disadvantage of the defendant caused by disclosure and notification order, sexual violence crime that can be achieved thereby, and the preventive effects of the sex offense against children and juveniles, etc., it is difficult to view that there are special circumstances that the personal information of the defendant should not be disclosed, and it is difficult to view that the period too long is too unreasonable.
C. Determination as to the wrongful assertion of employment restriction order
According to Article 3 of the Addenda to the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles against Sexual Abuse (amended by Act No. 15452, Mar. 13, 2018), and Articles 2 subparag. 2, 3-2, and 56(1) and (2) of the former Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles against Sexual Abuse (amended by Act No. 15452, Mar. 13, 2018), where a sentence is imposed due to a sex offense against a child or youth or a sex offense against an adult (hereinafter referred to as "sexual offense"), a sentence shall be issued to operate a facility, institution, or place of business (hereinafter referred to as "child or juvenile-related institution") under each subparagraph of Article 56(1) for a period not exceeding ten years, except in extenuating circumstances where the risk of recidivism is significantly low or employment is not restricted (hereinafter referred to as "order to restrict employment").
In light of the Defendant’s age, power, risk of re-offending, background and method of the instant crime, sexual violence crime that may be achieved by the employment restriction order, and the prevention effect of sexual crimes, etc., which are acknowledged by comprehensively taking account of the evidence duly adopted and examined by the lower court, it is difficult to deem that there is a special circumstance that the risk of re-offending by the Defendant is significantly low, or that the Defendant should not be restricted from employment. However, this part of the Defendant’s assertion is partially reasonable, since the period of the employment restriction order against the Defendant is too too unreasonable.
