Reasons for sentencing
In particular, since the crime of rape is a crime of which the nature of the crime is significantly poor, the tangible and intangible damage suffered in the process is much larger than that of other crimes, even if the person under suspicion is confirmed, even if the person under suspicion is more serious than that of other crimes. In light of the fact that the Defendant made economic benefits, such as mutual agreement and opening of cell phones from the person under suspicion after filing a false report, the nature of the crime is not good.
However, the Defendant has been recognized as committing the instant crime at the time of the trial. The Defendant did not have any disadvantage to which a person was accused of the instant crime. The Defendant had no record of criminal punishment either punished for the same kind of crime or of a fine exceeding the fine. The Defendant was under mental medical treatment due to a mental disorder, such as an unidentified disorder, stimulative disorder, stimulative disorder, and inorganic mental disorder prior to the instant crime. In addition, the Defendant’s age, character and behavior, motive and background of the instant crime, means and consequence, and the conditions of punishment as set forth in the arguments and the records, such as the circumstances after the crime, etc.,
