2. Determination

A. “Indecent act” means an act that causes a sense of sexual humiliation or aversion to the general public and is contrary to good sexual morality, and thus constitutes an act that infringes on the victim’s sexual freedom. Determination of whether an act constitutes an act should be made carefully by comprehensively taking into account the victim’s intent, gender, age, relationship before the offender and the victim, circumstances leading to the act, specific manner of the act, objective situation surrounding the act, sexual morality, etc.

(see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2014Do6416, Dec. 24, 2014). (B)

고소인의 경찰, 검찰 및 법원에서의 진술에 의하면 피고인이 고소인의 왼팔, 얼굴 등을 손가락으로 튕기듯이 만지고 뒷머리를 쓰다듬은 사실은 인정할 수 있다.
