Punishment of the crime

피고인은 2015. 9. 18. 18:00경 서울 금천구 F 소재 자신이 운영하는 G 치과에서 평소 감정이 좋지 아니한 피해자 H에게 피고인의 휴대폰을 이용하여 카카오톡으로 “너 아주 머리 쓰는데 내가 계속 당할 꺼 같지 홈플러스 그만두고 너랑 같이 자폭할까 아니 내부 고발도 있고 참 너 그 간호사랑 그러고 다니는거 니 와이프는 아니 ㅋㅋ 적당히 했어야지 이 자식아 미친 새끼”라는 내용의 메시지를 발송하여 피해자가 위 치과를 함께 운영할 당시의 세금 문제, 불법진료 문제, 간호사와의 불륜 등을 마치 피해자의 처 등에게 알릴 것처럼 겁을 줌으로써 피해자를 협박하였다.

Summary of Evidence

1. Partial statement of the defendant;

1. Legal statement of the witness H;

1. Application of the Kakao Act (including Kakao Stockholm messages);

1. Relevant Article 283 (1) of the Criminal Act concerning criminal facts, the choice of a fine, and the choice of a fine;

1. Articles 70 (1) and 69 (2) of the Criminal Act for the detention of a workhouse;

1. The defendant and his defense counsel asserts that the crime of intimidation cannot be established because the defendant's assertion of the defendant and his defense counsel regarding the claim of the provisional payment order cannot be seen as a threat of harm and injury likely to cause fear of the letter of this case.

In order to establish a crime of intimidation, the details of harm and injury notified should be sufficient to cause fears to ordinary people, in full view of various circumstances before and after the act, such as the offender and the other party’s tendency, surrounding circumstances at the time of notification, the degree of friendship between the offender and the other party, and the relationship between the other party. However, it does not require that the other party may feel fear in reality, and as long as the other party perceived its meaning by notifying harm and injury to that degree, it does not necessarily require that the other party realistically promulgated.
