Reasons

2. In light of the circumstances that are disadvantageous to the Defendant, such as the fact that the Defendant, even though having already been fined three times for a crime of the same kind, employs foreigners without the status of employment sojourn, and operates a sexual traffic business establishment, and the act of arranging sexual traffic is not considerable social harm and injury, such as impairing the sound sexual culture and good morals by commercializing women’s sex.
However, in full view of the favorable circumstances such as the defendant's full recognition of the crime, the mistake is divided, and the defendant seems to have been detained for a considerable period of time, the period of operation of the sex trafficking business establishment in this case is not long, the defendant has no record of criminal punishment exceeding the fine, the defendant has to support his elderly, and other factors of sentencing in this case including the defendant's age, character and behavior, environment, and circumstances after the crime, it is judged that the sentence of the court below is unfair.
