The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The judgment below

Examining the evidence duly adopted by the first instance court, which maintained the reasoning of the judgment, the court below was just in finding the Defendant guilty of violating the Act on the Protection of Children from Sexual Abuse (production, distribution, etc. of obscene materials) among the facts charged in the instant case on the grounds stated in its reasoning. Contrary to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, the court below did not err by exceeding the bounds of free conviction due to violating the logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal principles on “child pornography for use” under the Act on the Protection of Children from Sexual Abuse and its production, or by failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
