The defendant's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. The summary of the grounds for appeal (e.g., a two-year suspended sentence and 80 hours of community service in the six-month imprisonment sentenced by the court below against the defendant is too unreasonable.
2. There are extenuating circumstances, such as the Defendant who made a judgment on the grounds of appeal, when making a confession of all the crimes, and misunderstandings, and having no record of punishment in addition to one fine, etc.
However, on the other hand, the Defendant’s act of arranging sexual traffic as the head of a sexual traffic business establishment equipped with adequate facilities such as studio 6, etc. is not less than the nature of the crime, such as commercializing women’s sex and impairing good morals by doing so. On September 22, 2014, despite having received a summary order of a fine of KRW 3 million by engaging in the act of arranging sexual traffic for business purposes, as in the instant case, the Defendant again committed the instant crime again immediately and later. Examining the conditions of sentencing prescribed in Article 51 of the Criminal Act, including the Defendant’s age, character and behavior, environment, motive for committing the crime, circumstances after committing the crime, etc., the sentence imposed by the lower court against the Defendant is appropriate and it cannot be deemed unfair.
3. In conclusion, the defendant's appeal is dismissed in accordance with Article 364 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
(However, pursuant to Article 25 of the Regulation on Criminal Procedure, the "Defendant D" shall be corrected to "Defendant A" in the second sentence of the "criminal facts" column of the judgment below ex officio.
